Very Lovely 1866 Naive Watercolor Flowers with Decorated Border on Laid blue and red Stamp with postmark at upperJust my sort of watercolor, very naive, very charming, and to my eye just transcendently lovely. With what appear to be three different sorts of blooms emanating from the roundish pink form near center the one at top right seeming to me a bit like a bird or a bee seeking nectar! And with two perimeters of hatch marks creating a frame around it, in a manner similar to early handmade rewards of merit, which perhaps it was made to be. On reverse: Sue
