    Hello Everyone,

     

    We had a visitor bring us the attached wall hanging last week looking for information about it. We let him know generally that the peak of popularity for this type of art in the US was late 19th, early 20th century so we would hazard a date around then. That fits with his family story about the item, that it is over 100 years old. However, details beyond that were somewhat outside our wheelhouse as a local history museum. I recommended contacting the local art museum and let him know I would reach out to this community in case folks here recognize anything specific about it they'd like to share.

     

    Thank you!
