[QUOTE="scoutshouse, post: 139066, member: 267"]That was so very cool of them to give so much information! They were mostly popular figures, like Napoleon, Jenny Lind - she was a Swedish singer who toured the world with PT Barnum, if that gives any sense of how popular SHE was! So it's likely yours in a copy of well-known painting of another wildly famous "Lady" from the era of her dress... They were sometimes painted on a very thin sheet of ivory, as she helpfully mentioned. Hey! I just noticed 6rivets ("Grivets" I used to call her) on that thread - wish she'd show up - she'd know exactly when that dress was worn![/QUOTE]
