I'm not good at taking pictures and I need a new camera! The glare is from the window. I did learn something today that I didn't know before. It's not painted on cardboard! My mother-inlaw has always just called it cardboard and maybe it's sort of like cardboard. Do you remember that thin pressed board that would be on the back of old console TVs, or what they made little kid record players out of. It is sort of like almost pressed board but if you break it in half it is like glorified cardboard that might even have some sort of fiber made up in it. Anyway, it's oil based paint, painted on that, in around 1942. It's looking faded and dirty and at some point, push is going to come to shove and we'll need to take it somewhere to have someone look at it.
