| Many rounded top trunks had
artwork inside (I have seen very few flat tops with pictures). Inside
the lid was a favorite place for the artwork which consisted of
narrow paper tape borders and/or pictures. Artwork was also placed on
trays and other locations within the trunks. Most of the pictures were of
women or children, sometimes children with small animals like dogs and
cats. We always preserve any artwork
that is salvageable. The new lining is then worked around the artwork. A
crack or small tear in the picture is common, they are usually caused by
the wood of the trunk drying out and splitting. Unfortunately many pieces
of artwork did not survive at all. We will be adding more
pictures as we come across them. Let us know if you have a favorite you'd
like to share and we'll post it.
The least common subjects were men. Here
are some we have found. The bottom one on the left is a duck-hunting scene
with two men in a boat.
