Antique Cyanotype Portrait of Young Woman with Mask German carved walnut nativity I've got a super weaknessI was really excited to find this one, in large part because of what this young woman is holding in her hand: a molded and painted mesh mask very much like several Ive had in the shop, and of the type we usually now describe as Odd Fellows Daughters of Rebekah masks, though Ive never really been able to figure out how widely these were made and used outside of those affiliations.
