A Religious Pageant | Large Format Framed Victorian Cabinet CardLate Victorian, large format cabinet card depicting young girls costumed and posed in some sort of religious tableau. It looks like various costumed figures kneeling in worship to the Virgin Mary and the cross. Very evocative, a little eerie, but beautiful. The photo measures about 8 x 10 and is presented in a large, beautifully timeworn Victorian frame. The photo is in excellent condition; the frame shows wear to the gesso. Refer to photos.

Refer to photos for size and condition: Some surface wear to the silver plate from age

I suggest you place an ordinary

The purse is unlined and fitted to hang from a chatelaine

Fabulous Victorian hoop skirt for a young girl
