Vase of Bergonia, Beautifully Moody c. 1870s Stereoview folk art fruit With the perfect dark greenI love early albumen stereoviews that feel super atmospheric, and this is most definitely one of those, and then some. I believe the flowers are bergonia, as described on the series list on reverse, here placed in an excellent and perfectly complementary leaf patterned vase. Minimal in a great way, with aging to the background (I think glue showing through), which just adds to the ambiance. And mounted on the perfect matte orange card. Lovely. 7" x 3
