Description |
Framed black and white photograph of Karl Ludvig Sørensen (father of the donor). The photograph is encased in a brown leather embossed book-like frame that closes with an s-shaped hook-latch. The photograph is on the (viewer's) right side of the casing. Opposite the photograph is a stamped piece of goldenrod-colored velvet fabric and a decorative gold border. Surrounding the photograph is a decorative gold-colored border, a gold-colored fabric border, and a decorative copper mat. Dimensions: (of one section of frame) Width: 2.5" Length: 2.9375" Overall the framed print is in good condition, though there are wear marks present throughout. On the front cover there is wear/scuffing around all of the outer edges and corners. Some of the darker-colored brown leather has been scuffed off, leaving lighter-yellow leather. There is a large black spot stain along the (viewer's) right/center edge, a residue spot stain along the (viewer's) left/center edge, a residue stain along the top edge of the (viewer's) upper left hand corner (from adhesive?), and the spine of the books is missing. In it's place is a piece of cream-colored (yellowed) muslin/burlap type fabric. There is adhesive residue beneath the fabric and along the spine seam edges. The back cover of the case has wear along the outer edges and corners, a crack in the (viewer's) upper right hand corner, there is seam separation in the (viewer's) lower left and right hand corners, and a large black spot stain that covers nearly the entire (viewer's) right hand edge. The leather above the s-clasp has been scuffed off. The (viewer's) left inner side of the case has wear along the outer edges and all four corners. Some of the decorative border is scuffing/torn off in the (viewer's) upper left and right hand corners, some of the gold decoration has worn off, there is an adhesive stain in the (viewer's) upper right hand corner, there is a brown spot in the top/center and a dark smudge in the (veiewer's) bottom left hand corner of the stamped velvet inset. The seam in between the two inner pages is very worn with torn pieces of leather and adhesive residue. The (viewer's) right side of the photograph frame has wear around all of the outer edges and corners. The (viewer's) left outer edge is slightly separated from the rest of the outer frame. It is slightly lower than the rest of the outer frame edge and there is adhesive residue present. The gold-fabric border is worn and dirt smudged throughout . There is a small hole in the (viewer's) lower left hand corner and an adhesive stain in the (viewer's) upper left hand corner. The copper mat has tarnishing along the inner edge with much darker spots along the top/center, bottom/center, and (viewer's) left/center edges. The glass in the frame has dirt particles/residue around the outer edges and underneath the glass, as well as several small scufffs. It is difficult to discern the condition of the photograph, as it is under glass. It appears as if the paper is slightly yellwoed and there may be a dark stain along the (viewer's) bottom/center edge. There are many dark particles, but I cannot tell if they are attached to the underside of the glass or the photograph itself. |
