<p>[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 4181068, member: 5833"]The signature is beyond me - Prinimimis for all I can tell. The title is written in a cursive that uses a form for the 's' in Joseph that reminds me of how the letter s used to be written with a character that looked a lot like 'f' except when at the end of a word. The 'and' is maybe 'eo'? Next bit looks more like 'Protiforo' than 'Potiforo'. And the 'wé' is left for wife/woman. Since Ivanyi Grunwald was Hungarian, think that's where we're at.</p><p><br /></p><p>This reminds me of the scene in My Fair Lady where Higgins is recounting the effect Eliza had at the Embassy Ball, how everyone thought she had to be their own nationality.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
