Catalogue Note: Identified as Isabella Annie [Ann/Anne] Parker who was born around 1850 in Caistor, Lincolnshire, England to parents George Parker (b.c.1815) and Isabella Redfern (b.c.1818). Her father was a printer, stationer, and bookseller in the town, and her parents had at least 12 children. Not much is known about Isabella Annie, it appears she never married, remaining in Caistor for most of her life and being recorded as a bookseller's daughter and assistant on 19th century census records. She was listed as living in Bridlington, Yorkshire, England in the 1901 census with her younger sister, Ellen.
Very good visual condition with linen having some toning and small stains, some thread with light fading / fugitive color, third number in date previously removed probably by maker, frame with some wear, surface scratches, and scattered chips and losses to veneer. Not examined out of frame.
From the collection of the late Carol H. Forrer, Northville, MI.
