I had a customer bring in an item that I have not seen before. I'm curious about how it might have been made.
It is a photo of a small girl holding a cat. It looks like a black and white photo image. The detail in the image is very good (high resolution). The photo was taken around 1907. It is "printed" on a nice piece of silk. The image is about 8" X 14". The silk is about 16" X 22". It came in rolled in brown paper. The couple that brought it in said that it had been stored like that for more than fifty years. It is a photo of the gentleman's grandmother.
Has anyone seen one of these? It looks a lot like the computer generated T shirt prints. Does anyone know how this might have been made 95 years ago?
