Antique Cyanotype Portrait of Young Woman with Mask Lorenzens Lantz collectible 14 1/4" t x 10I was really excited to find this one, in large part because of what this young woman is holding in her hand: a molded and painted mesh mask very much like several Ive had in the shop, and of the type we usually now describe as Odd Fellows Daughters of Rebekah masks, though Ive never really been able to figure out how widely these were made and used outside of those affiliations. I love the way she is posed with the mask firmly in hand but not worn,
