Marine Pavilions Framed

[Teutonicknights]

Found this in the Goodwill on a top shelve, someone went to alot of trouble to frame it and mount it. Any ideas what this might be and if original? Thanks for looking!

Hi, Mike !

Looks right up your medieval alley !

Marine flags/standards colour plate. I know it looks 'old', but the problem
is that the book it may have come from is still being published.

With a strong magnifier, see if there is a 'dot matrix' pattern in the
printing - similar to newspaper photos. This will tell if it's a
reprint of an older plate........


Have a look here:

I wish I could get a better picture, but its hard inside glass, looks like its a page out of some old book maybe? Standby,

Hard to tell Steve, I can see wood grain in the paper, don't know why someone would go to all the trouble to "frame" up a modern page, but you never know nowadays. I know someone spent alot of money on the frame for these, it is fancy!
