<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SeaGoat, post: 147139, member: 1136&quot;]So I finally got my estate sale buy home (safely!), the frame touched up,&nbsp; and the room it is going in painted.</p><p>It&#039;s now ready to hang!</p><p>...and thank goodness. It&#039;s been leaning up against various couches in my living room with young boys around.</p><p>Everyday was a constant,&nbsp; &quot;you&#039;re too close!&quot;, &quot;watch the picture&quot;, &quot;don&#039;t do that!&nbsp; The picture!&quot; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/rolleyes.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>So, the safest way to hang...</p><p>It weighs about 30-40lbs according to the Significant Other and measures roughly 4&#039;x5&#039;</p><p><br /></p><p>There is a heavy chain on the back it was previously hung with.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have those monkey hooks that are rated to 50lbs, but I&#039;m still iffy about all that. </p><p><br /></p><p>While we were packing up the estate the lady who owned it told me it was her cousins house and that his mother died 20 years before he did and he died about 5 or 7 years ago.</p><p>When his mother died he paid a company $20,000 to pack all her things and ship it from Texas to Georgia, where everything sat, stacked floor to ceiling in his basement for the 25 to almost 30 years <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/eek.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>This picture was in a large packing crate and was only recently taken out for the estate sale.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>It has spotting issues. I&#039;m sure nearly 30 years in a humid basement had a lot to do with it.</p><p>It&#039;s not as bad as the pictures show, a lot of that is shadows from dirty glass <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie66" alt=":nailbiting:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>At one point the image was torn a bit, like something poked through it, but it was professionally patched on the back.</p><p><br /></p><p>I haven&#039;t seen another one like it (uncolored) and matching it sheer size. What do yall think about it?</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s overall, water bottle for size reference</p><p><img src="http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/kk13/Faircloth9945/Mobile%20Uploads/20160520_144718_zpszz6fynuf.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/kk13/Faircloth9945/Mobile%20Uploads/20160520_144557_zpspv2uqnmx.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/kk13/Faircloth9945/Mobile%20Uploads/20160520_144604_zpsbcrcvjof.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>It is titled &quot;Glimpse of an English Homestead&quot;</p><p>&quot; London published November 1st 1859 by Goupil &amp; Co 17, South Hampton Street, strand.
