<p>[QUOTE="Northern Lights Lodge, post: 10241653, member: 13464"]Some thoughts on the backside photo: If you compare how the canvas is "pulled" on the front side; to the small nails that appear to be poking out on the backside.. strikes me that it is actually nailed into the frame. I also don't see what "looks" like it could be extra fabric on the back - which would have been either turned under or left extending past the nails. Unfortunately, as IF there is some sort of hem... it would have been a place for initials or color comparison. Still, I think the frame is original and that the paper has been replaced. And it just occurred to me... there appears to be no glass! Another reason why it may be the original frame and why it is muted...not only light...but dust and dirt.</p><p><br /></p><p>Truly a fun piece, with a great story to tell!</p><p>Cheerio, Leslie[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
