lending a sense of movement and three-dimensionality to the whole thing

I purchased this and a second Dows print from the estate of artist Leon Hovsepian (1911-2018) in Worchester

Early 20th century or so I would think

Perfect for holding incoming or outgoing mail or setting aside bills to be paid

1870s Seamoss and Seashells Stereoview folk art black cat lending a sense of movementAnother week, another lovely stereoview, with the pair of albumen photos on this one capturing a bouquet like arrangement of seashells and seamoss. I can't look at it without thinking of pressed sea moss albums, linked both to the Victorian obsession with the wonders of the natural world and to the liberation of young women from the confines of the parlor! Lovely and delicate feeling. 7" x 3 3 8", good condition, with perfect matte yellow mat. C.
