[QUOTE="journeymagazine, post: 318455, member: 84"]Found this at a yard sale - weirdest/most ingenious (not sure which) thing I've seen in a while! It's a miniature (3.5" x 2.5") reverse painted on glass of a colonial era? (their clothing) or civil war? era (their clothing's colors) couple - or Uncle Sam & his wife (clothes & colors again) dancing. The unusual thing is when I took off the back to try to find a signature (none) after cardboard, then tissue type paper, there was a feather & maybe a berry branch/or seaweed used for matting/background! Has anyone seen this before? Can anyone tell how old this is? As always I appreciate any help.
