<p>[QUOTE=&quot;J Dagger, post: 4531639, member: 10944&quot;]I picked up this large WB Closson print a couple, few years ago. Guy had an amazing paper collection. I wish I knew more about the ephemera world at the time. His antique document and other paper goody collection was to die for and there was lots of it at good prices. The crown jewel being a GW doc. Knowing very little I made around 5 hundo on a less than $50 investment picking out two cool pieces of the “good stuff” tables. This was getting tossed around by everyone in a pile of paper on a table in a barn attic. I threw it in a stack and brought it home. I really love the image. I believe it’s a wood engraving? Closson was a pretty well regarded artist. This one is dated December, 1889 (I think that’s the year), I read that he gave up print making the next year in favor of painting. I swear I found some info on this particular piece a couple years ago but I looked again the other day and cannot find it. It looks like a swallow (bird) in the image. For some reason I had nightingale&nbsp; in my head but certainly looks like a swallow. It’s not supposed to be Jenny Lind is it? Hoping someone may be able to help me ID the title of the piece and possibly the source of this large image. Paper is 27.5”x34.5”. I have no idea what it says after his name in the spot without the date.
