[QUOTE="vitry-le-francois, post: 203087, member: 100"]When I first noticed this cloth bound folder tucked in a box lot at local auction, I quickly dismissed it for a photo album. I *always* make two passes through the box lots to make sure I didn't miss anything. When I came by it again, I decided to have a look.

I've never seen anything like this before. Then again, the amount of knowledge I have when it comes to art can fit inside a cracker jack box cut it half four times. I am wondering of this was intentionally created like this or if the artwork was lifted off something else and then placed inside this folder? Whatcha all think?
