SOLD Stunning Antique Paper Print Photograph of Very Intricate (Paper Pattern for?) Handmade Lace mclaughlin bros parade flags I'm not quite sure why

I'm not quite sure why it is that old pull toys appeal to me so much

SOLD Stunning Antique Paper Print Photograph of Very Intricate (Paper Pattern for?) Handmade Lace mclaughlin bros parade flags I'm not quite sure whyYum. I am not entirely sure if the photograph here is of a paper pattern for making a section of bobbin lace or a section of lace itself but i love that elusiveness, including of the ground behind it, and the photo is I think a stand alone perfect thing. Details give a good sense of the richness of detail and tonality. I find it very striking and completely satisfying and would be especially happy to keep this one. 6 7 16" x 4 13 16". Late 19th early
