Doug Obert Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 (edited) A friend I've known for 60 years inherited a framed photo of her grandmother. On the matte is a gold sticker. She asked me if I knew what is was. I did a Google search and came up empty. Hoping somebody here can shed some light on the sticker! Photo was taken in the 50's and probably in Colorado.

Glenn McCreery Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 (edited) I could not read the sticker as posted, so I tweaked it in Photoshop. I still do not know what it refers to, but here it is. It reads "Accepted National Portrait Exhibitors, Corum?". Not sure about the word "Corum", it is still hard to read. Doug - can you read the last word?

Bill Snell Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Found this and the sticker means that the portrait was hung at an exhibition but did not receive an "honours" - best of luck. Bill. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
