Description: For your consideration is this framed 1908 Harrison Fisher portrait of a Gibson Girl at her dresser, peering into a hand mirror. The gold frame that holds it is hinged to an adjoining framed print with a poem about the woman and the man who loves her. The hinged, framed items can either stand open on a flat surface, or they might be hung on a wall open and next to each other. Of course, they can also be closed for transport or storage purposes. The print and accompanying poem recall an earlier day when gender roles and courting behaviors were different from today. The elegantly dressed woman appears to be a Victorian-era lady trying to look her best and admiring her own appearance. The poem reads as follows: Of her bright face one glance will trace And picture on the brain; And of her voice in echoing hearts A sound must long remain;But memory, such as mine of her, So very much endears,When death is nigh, my last sigh Will not be life's, but hers. This vintage/antique piece is highly nostalgic and wistful. A fine collectible piece for those who like period pieces and/or poetry. Upon your purchase of this item, it will be carefully packaged and promptly shipped to you with purchaser paying the shipping costs. Thanks for your consideration.
