I am wondering how on earth you figured this out? I am so delighted to read the urls provided. If it is indeed from the fin de siecle and/or McLoughlin Bros Im pretty excited about that. I thought the frame was oak also (thanks for that). </p><p><br /></p><p>This was a very peculiar find in a junk shop. I saw a wizened little old man with it in his hands. He was peering at it intently. I stepped up and asked if I could see it and he muttered 'its the old style, its the old style of printing'. When I complimented him on the pretty find he literally shoved it in my hands and raced off saying 'you take it, you take it, I have too many already'. I have often wondered if his wife berated him when he came home with more "junk". I was delighted to rescue this for a whopping $3.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
