Ann S. Bedell Fraktur Portrait AND 1851 Marriage Certificate with Hair Locks vintage flat weave rug Smaller 3" across and 5/16"Last week it was an Esther whose 19th century watercolor self portrait I feel in love with, this week it is Ann Bedell, portrayed in this wonderful mid 19th century ink Fraktur drawing.
