ACCUMULATAE

 


I found this old brooch whilst sorting through a box of "accumulatae" (not sure if that is a word, but if not, it should be). I assume that it has come from within the family, and therefore the rather charming lady in the large hat is a relative of mine. Precisely who she is, I have no idea, but I have pleasure in presenting her to the world. On the reverse of the brooch is another portrait. I will return to that, later.
