1829 Bouquet of Flowers Theorem on Velvet, Signed, With Provenance stacker or whateverNot very often I come across an early signed and dated theorem painting on velvet, and even less often with information about its maker noted by a family member on reverse so I was quite delighted to find this one, in a period frame to boot. It was done by an Isabella Caroline Thompson, 1829, whose family I've found, with the help of knowing that her son's name was George Thomas Reid (b. 1849, Pickens County, SC) and her granddaughter Victoria Reid
