[QUOTE="Figtree3, post: 2014028, member: 33"]Thanks! I am thinking it's a "crayon portrait" -- also known as "solar enlargement." Basically a colored-over photo print. There are articles out there about how they were made. Very popular technique in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. We've mentioned them in several other threads on this site.
