<p>[QUOTE=&quot;abuadam97, post: 2560520, member: 10823&quot;]I have this silhouette portrait that is cut out black paper on white. It has a stamp that read F Ward and a date of 1731. This inscription was read that under a 10x magnifier. </p><p>I am intrigued what the date 1731 means. I searched the subject of silhouette portrait art and It says it traces to mid-18th century which is after this date. Would that be the birthday of the subject in this silhouette portrait? or could it be the date that it was made? Did they have such stamps during those early times?</p><p>It&#039;s oval with dimensions: 6 1/2&quot; L and 4 1/2&quot; W</p><p>Pictures attached[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
