This is such an interesting and charming old 1892 printers ornament. This graphic is beautifully illustrated and includes charming birds, lovely blossoms, and a curious winged hourglass!
Have just started with your wonderful site. First let me tell you what a wonderful site you have. Everything is gorgeous.
Secondly, the graphic of the winged hourglass is a gravestone image signifying that “Time Flies”. This image was used often in Victorian times.
Again thanks for site.
Thanks so much for the info Donna! I had no idea! I think the book that one came out of was in German.
