FANTASTIC FIND

 
I found this very large (approx.) 11 x 17 very old photograph.
I stopped by my pharmacy last week and near there was a few boxes (free).
I went on over to find this picture in a box.  I could not believe it, well I could for it has a rip, you can probably see that here.
I will be putting this in my craft room, so it doesn't matter to me about the tear.

 
Do you see the date?  I believe the year has to be 1892, don't believe it is 1992 ha, ha....
I was so pleased with my free find.
Have you found any free items lately?
Thanks for stopping by.
Michele

What a wonderful find! She is a very pretty lady and it is so rare to find an antique photo that large. Who cares about the rip, you can stabilise it on the back and it will look fabtastic in your studio.

What a great free find. Makes you wonder about the person in the photo.
Very pretty in spite of the tear. I haven't found anything free lately but I love these old pics and would have been happy to find it too.
Have a great week. Hugs, cm

Beautiful find Michele! It's kind of sad that beautiful photograph, if you didn't find it, probably would've ended up in the trash. :( I found a similar photo about the same size at an antique mall for $2.00. Not exactly free, but I couldn't pass up such a gorgeous bargain!
