    Hi,
    I have this framed picture mounted on a mat with that greeting. The label on the back is torn and I can only read ....Gallery and ...N.Y.
    I thought the spelling of greetynge would make it easy to find this online but no luck.
    Is the picture a photo? - the flowers (roses?) are pink. Frame is 3" by 7 1/2"
    Any way to identify anything about this? Someone thought it was worth framing.
    IMG_7004.JPG IMG_7005.JPG IMG_7006.JPG I'm clueless. Thanks!

    It appears to be a decorative print from the early 20th century in much-damaged-by-water condition. You haven't posted a close-up of the image which would be helpful to determine age (by the woman's costume) and setting (plantation or elsewhere.)

    IMG_7058.JPG I hope this helps. Thanks for the suggestion. I didn't even see her green purse until I got this close up. Wish I could get it sharper but hope this works.
