[QUOTE="capitulation, post: 3297771, member: 10248"]I purchased this old print with a nice wood frame and am trying to determine the subject matter and/or age/or wood type. Im guessing its at least 1930s (maybe prior?). It appears to be of some kind of sale or dress up with children involving shoes and undergarments, which is a bit odd! I noticed there were also some kind of Asian looking lanterns on the line behind the girl in the pink frock. Any guesses as to the origin of this composition (a book or story?), age based on the print, nails or frame, or what kind of wood the frame is would be lovely. I thought the lad in the top hat looks rather Harry Potterish...
