Woman with Flowered Hat Hand-painted Spanish Postcard, 1913 woman with flowered hat Pulling or pushing the slide

Pulling or pushing the slide lever to which this wood chopper's feet are attached causes him to either lift or lower his axe--pretty fun

The brass on these has a particularly nice patina

There’s a bit of variation to the glaze

Fair condition--there is a crease near her mouth

I applied silver polish to the front of this pin and it shines brightly

Woman with Flowered Hat Hand-painted Spanish Postcard, 1913 woman with flowered hat Pulling or pushing the slideI just love the image of this decked out woman, with huge hat like a rose garden, completely concealing her head, and reiterated with garland like trim on the back and cuffs of her jacket.

Sent to a Teresa Granell in Buena Vista, Valls (Catalonia, Spain) in May of 1913. Watercolor on
