    Items as described. Wish you could see the total shipping cost for combined shipping before checkout. Ebay makes it hard to message seller before transaction. Wanted to add an addition item at his listed price if could be combined with shipping so I sent an offer for $1.00 with a note attached hoping he would refuse ridiculous offer. He must not have read message and mistakenly sold item to me for $1.00. Not what I intended, but could not find any other way to communicate to seller.

    Expert seller! I was watching my tracking closely because my mail delivery person has a tendency to disregard any “fragile” or “do not bend” indicators and just shoves everything into the mailbox. I was cringing waiting to see what damage had been done to these beautiful prints when I opened the mailbox. But this seller had packaged them SO well that even my mail carrier couldn’t damage them! Also shipped SO quickly! Thank you so much, these are lovely and I can’t wait to frame!

    A TERRIFIC SELLER of a truly superior example of an authentic "Chromolithograph" print, exactly as described. Beautifully packed & speedy delivery. More than fairly priced, with precise & caring communication skills too. Many thanks for a very happily purchased treasure ! I am a professional artist and a natural lover of affordable beauty that costs way less than its true value. Everybody can afford collecting gems of real art through authentic vintage prints produced hundreds of years ago !
