Bluebirds Over Heart Inside Garland, 19th C. Watercolor with Embossed Gold Foil Diecuts wood block with two tones of red

with two tones of red triangles against faded blue linen

10 inches long x 6 3/4" tall x 4 1/4" wide

especially as the car itself sits atop the backdrop

and a black stripe down the back--perfectly complemented by the silver-gray of the angular tin fins

and which I especially appreciate for the differences among them

Bluebirds Over Heart Inside Garland, 19th C. Watercolor with Embossed Gold Foil Diecuts wood block with two tones of redA lovely, happy thing, surely made as a token of love or friendship, with this pair of crossed bluebirds over blue heart suggesting a very "true blue" bond. And then an embossed foil die cut that looks to me like a boy pouring oil into a lantern, so, one presumes, to keep the flame forever burning. And a harp and horns, too! All wrapped up in a watercolored flowering garland. True love forever, so nice. Framed, as found, in a period frame. 3rd quarter
