$95 · GILBERT MORRIS TAYLOR HAND TINTED PHOTOGRAPH - SIGNED TAYLOR - JASPER PARK

Offered for sale this Gilbert Morris Taylor hand tinted photograph. The photograph is framed behind glass in the original period frame. (Hence the reflections in the images I took). Signed in pencil in the bottom right hand corner " Taylor - Jasper Park " and titled in the bottom left hand corner " Pasque Flower ". The framing paper has the original foil gallery sticker on the back, " from the studio of G. Morris Taylor ". Overall condition is very good, obviously this is an original early 20th century framed photograph so there are some minor and to be expected dings in the wooden frame. Measurements are framed 13.5 inches in height x 11.5 inches in width. Please feel free to contact me with any questions.
