    Description

    Beautifully Illustrated Hills Brothers Millinery Sign This lovely sign from 1885 is one of the earliest pieces depicting the history of fashion. Two women are shown looking out over a balcony at a waterfall. The deep rich colors are typical of the Victorian era, showing high fashion of the period. The sign, 28 1/2" x 38 1/2", was obviously rolled and shows creases and very minor stains where the rolls overlapped. The quality of lithography during the late 1800s has never been matched. This sign surely would have much appeal to all collectors.

    This was my first time dealing with an auction house, and I am 100% completely impressed with Heritage. There is not an aspect of this process that I have a critique for.
