Description
The frame's oval photo opening is surrounded by richly detailed artwork in the Victorian taste, combining advertising utility with decorative appeal. Imported German advertising novelties such as this were commonly distributed by merchants and are increasingly sought after by collectors of advertising memorabilia, ephemera, country store artifacts, and early photo frames. This example retains its original oval glass insert, a feature often missing from surviving examples. The presence of the original glass significantly enhances displayability and collector appeal.
An appealing survivor retaining its original easel back and vivid imagery. Scarcer than standard period photograph frames due to its retailer-specific advertising association.
