and which I especially appreciate for the differences among them
It came from the collection of artist Richard Fleischner

Bluebirds Over Heart Inside Garland, 19th C. Watercolor with Embossed Gold Foil Diecuts wood block and which I especially appreciateA lovely, happy thing, surely made as a token of love or friendship, with this pair of crossed bluebirds over blue heart suggesting a very "true blue" bond. And then an embossed foil die cut that looks to me like a boy pouring oil into a lantern, so, one presumes, to keep the flame forever burning. And a harp and horns, too! All wrapped up in a watercolored flowering garland. True love forever, so nice. Framed, as found, in a period frame. 3rd quarter
