old note on reverse: I'm afraid I can't give you much of a history of this old picture as the old lady I bought it of has been dead several years. Her name was Davis. She said it was made by a sailor and was very old that the ship was the old Constitution which was built at Portsmouth over one hundred years ago. Sincerely Lucy Q. Perkins.
