This piece is available at $145 CAD. Delivery anywhere in Canada is already in that price — there is nothing extra to pay.
Paying by card on the site is not switched on yet, so I arrange each sale myself: write to me and I will confirm the piece is still here, photograph it for you, put it on hold while you think, and tell you how to pay. I will say in that note exactly how to pay and what the total is, and nothing is paid until you have agreed it. I will never ask you for a card number, and I will never ask you to pay in gift cards.
I am Sally, and I answer every message myself, usually within a day or two. If you need it by a particular day — a birthday, a wedding — tell me the date in your note and I will say straight away whether it can be done. Outside Canada? Write anyway and I will quote the carriage honestly before you commit to anything.
How delivery and returns work.
About this piece
A hand-coloured engraving of a crown imperial fritillary, plate 14 from an unidentified herbal. Laid paper with a visible chain pattern and a deckle on one edge. Light foxing in the lower margin, well clear of the image. Unframed.
Where it came from
The colour was put on by hand, one plate at a time, by someone paid by the piece. Look closely at the petals and you can see where the brush ran out.
