    This picture is of my great Aunt Eva and her doll. It is encased in glass. It is sealed in some sort of black substance. I am believing it was made in the late 1800's.

    I am not selling this heirloom, I just thought it was interesting.

    I don't even know what category it would fall under, or if it has value other than sentimental.

      Nice image!

      This style of paperweight with image was popular in the 1880s- 1910. Dolls are a popular item in antique photography and have a strong following among collectors.
