Circa 1800 Artwork on Paper Women Agricultural Folk Theme

Description: Description: Old 1800 Art on Paper Showing Women Agricultural Folk Theme with Handwritten Message. One, single sided, page of original art dated 1800. Hand executed work on page from an old Album Amicorum. This artwork features an agricultural theme, with what appears to be wheat on the left and flowers on the right. Interestingly, the dresses of the two women pictured, flow into (on the left) what appears to be wheat and (on the right) flowers. An exquisite piece of art, showing the connection of people to the earth and their environment. Handwriting is in a foreign language. I believe it is Dutch, but I am not sure. Please see photos and make your own determination. Google Lens translates some of the handwriting, but not all. I have provided numerous pictures of the page so you can see if an accurate translation can be found before agreeing to purchase this piece. This item was purchased in Bucks County, PA. However, I do know if this artwork has any connection to the area or if it was brought into the area by the original owners or someone they knew. Questions and offers welcome before close of listing. Sold as found. Please see photos and make your own determination on condition and origin. Feel free to ask any questions before the close of this auction or Buy It Now listing. I will answer questions to the best of my knowledge. Please note: you are only purchasing the physical item(s) pictured and described in the description and not any items used to display, measure, or showcase the item(s) being sold. Please review entire listing, including conditions, title, pictures, description, and terms. All items appearing in my listings, including this one, are preowned and thus have minor to major flaws. Nothing that is offered in this listing, as well as other listings under this eBay account, is in perfect condition. Pictures are part of the description and are provided to help illustrate condition. However, it is up to the buyer to ask any questions they may have about condition before the end of this listing. Please note that your commitment to purchase this listing indicates your acknowledgement and agreement to this condition, as well as all the other terms and conditions listed above and below this paragraph. Condition: This item is being sold as is and with all faults. Please see imperfections that are noted or are otherwise visible in uploaded images/scans. Also, please remember that an interpretation of an item's condition-along with the associated description of that condition-can vary from person to person. Please look at the pictures provided, ask any questions, and then make your own final determination as to the condition of the item(s) being offered for sale. For most items, a picture (or even a collection of pictures) will not show every angle of an item. Instead, the pictures will provide a general idea of the condition. Still, if you desire more pictures or more information, it is your responsibility to ask for additional pictures before bidding. If you bid without making that request (or before receiving a reply from me), you are still committing to buy the item being offered for sale. Digital Photos and on Screen Viewing: Cameras and computers sometimes display colors differently. Colors, when viewed on a computer screen, can be lighter or darker than the actual item(s) that is being photographed. Please keep this in mind when you place your bid. Please also note: No display props or materials (tape measures, stands, or other items that may be used to help display a listing) are included. Sales Tax, Use Tax, Other Taxes: I do not operate a business and therefore do not collect any tax on my sales. Since tax laws vary by state, you may be responsible for remitting sales or use tax to the appropriate state agency. The bidder, by bidding, agrees that if any sales or use tax (or any other tax) is due on the item(s) purchased, it is to be paid and remitted to the appropriate agency by the buyer and not the seller. While eBay has largely automated this process, if there is any error in their collection or calculation of tax due, the buyer agrees to pay the correct amount to the appropriate agency and to not hold the seller responsible for covering any additional amount of tax due. By committing to purchase this listing, you agree to these conditions and acknowledge that you understand and will comply with the above stated terms. Is the seller willing to entertain Buy It Now offers when an item is listed in an auction format? I will entertain offers, but the auction in question cannot have a bid on it. If another person has already bid on the item, I cannot offer it to someone else. Additionally, I will not consider any offers under the starting bid. Shipping Cost: Item will ship Priority Mail for $4.95 to continental US. My shipping policy: I DO NOT SHIP INTERNATIONALLY. If an international bidder bids in violation of the policy, I may, at my discretion, ship to that bidder. However, the bidder will be responsible for all shipping, packing, and handling costs. Please note: These cost are significant and routinely meet or exceed $50. They are also not the same as the stated shipping costs listed in the terms of this listing. If accepted, bids (and commitments to buy an item) from international bidders are an agreement and commitment to pay the additional costs associated with international shipping. Insurance is suggested, but not required. I pack all items the same way I would like to someone else to pack them if I was ordering the item in question. However, I cannot control how the mail is handled once it leaves my hands. This is why I suggest purchasing insurance for your item(s). Please note that I make no money when a buyer purchases insurance. Seller reserves the right to change shipping method listed in the auction. For example, an item listed with Priority Mail shipping may ship VIA register mail or First Class. Most of the time this is not necessary and if changes are necessary they almost always result in a free shipping upgrade. I list the majority of my items with free shipping or fixed shipping costs. The calculation of these costs, if the listing is not listed with free shipping, covers various expenses associated with mailing an item. This allows for up front pricing, without the buyer having to guess what they will have to pay. Please note: if an item is not listed with insurance provided it may not be provided and the cost for providing that insurance, if the buyer requests it, will be in addition to the shipping price stated in the auction. If free shipping is offered it is usually offered via the cheapest method. Please note: This section supersedes any shipping service and costs auto filled by eBay or listed outside of the seller's written description. By committing to purchase this listing, you agree that the transaction is completed when the item(s) purchased are received by the post office.

Furthermore, you agree to keep your shipping address updated with eBay and not hold the seller responsible for any loss if this listing is shipped to an old address that eBay has on file. Use and possession of item(s) purchased: By committing to purchase this listing, you agree that you will hold the seller harmless for any damage or liability that arises from the possession, use, or resale of the item(s) purchased from the seller.

Remember: When in doubt, please email me and ask me a question before you bid. This helps ensure a smooth transaction, one where the seller gets a sale and the buyer gets the item(s) they want to purchase. Storage of items offered for sale: Seller reserves the right to store items offsite. If a purchased item (or items) is then damaged, destroyed, or stolen at an offsite location or the seller's home address, the buyer agrees that the seller will only be liable to refund the purchase price of the item or items purchased.
