Gooding #13F1 Possibly typographed in brownish-carmine, on thin, pale green,
surfaced wove paper, apparently enameled. The full-stop in the upper
inscription is equidistant between the two words, and there is no colon after
'INTERIOR'. The outline of the top of the frame, above this inscription, is
composed of a very thick line, with a very thin line outside it. The upper,
bell-shaped ornaments have no white dots above them; and the lower ones have
no white dots below them. There are seventy-five pearls round the central
circle. Only one row of the network can be seen, both above and below the
central circle, between it and the frame. There is no shading on the throat,
under the chin, and there is no spot on the neck, near the base. The front
end of the ribbon, which comes across the neck, is level with the shading at
the back of the neck. There are two dotted lines of shading on the neck,
below the ribbon. No Picture Available Gooding #13F2 Very crude forgery and easily identifiable. The lettering is
irregular and larger than the genuine. The spandrels are large and the white
dots are omitted. The background lines are irregular and broken in quite a
few places. The chin is too rounded and the lips are too close together.
