Who are they kidding? I guess a sucker is born every mintue but don't any of you fall for this one! And ONLY $500 bucks!



I emailed the seller to find out the "providence" of the object. Maybe they know something we don't? I will report back about their reply.

Stef, whats really funny is that someone will bid on it. I see stuff like this on e-bay & I get mad because people know that their screwing the public but whos going to complain? Miss Lizzie? I've sent a few e-mails to these sellers voicing my opinion about this but I've yet to get a response.

Its a cool photograph, looks like its from the 1880s by the dress.  But not for that much money.


  Kat, that is too funny!

Kat, I think you made Morse.  Try selling it on eBay.

Here is the sellers reply to my request for the provenance on this portrait:

"all i  can  tell you is  that  it  was  found in a  very old  estate cellar in  mass.  and  it  was  stored  thier for  lots of years, its  all original  and  in  good  cond.
  thanks  garrett"

So no provenance at all. Or as garrett calls it "providence".
