Antique NOS New Old Stock FAMILY TREE Victorian Certificate Photo Pockets

ORIGINAL ANTIQUE VICTORIAN FAMILY TREE CERTIFICATE

This new-old-stock Victorian family tree certificate has never been used and retains its tissue paper backing in the oval frames to support CDVs or tintype photographs.

In beautiful unused antique condition, this certificate would make a wonderful gift for a family - and one could have it professionally lettered with all the information.

This item measures 15" inches by 19" and as you can see there is a large margin for framing purposes. Printed on heavy paper, it features black and metallic inks.

Published by Crider Bros. in the 3rd and 4th quarter of the 19th century, this was part of a large group of certificates that was likely set aside from a stationers that closed. There is an engraved palm tree at the top with clinging vines, angels, roses, and a central image of a archetypical Victorian family - dad, mom, grandmother, and 5 children.

As in all antique paper - there may be some toning or discoloration and the faint whiff of old paper. Because these are fragile - they are shipped in a mylar sleeve with acid-free backing. They will need to be shipped flat as they cannot be rolled due to potential cracking damage.
