1 Large 18th century high domed lady example. From the set in the book "The Colorful World of Buttons", by Viviane Beck Ertell on plate 17 (showing 4 from a set of 4 different ladies with large headdresses of which this is the number 22 pictured on that page) comes this hand colored print on paper set under a very high dome. The button is fully intact but we believe that the two lines that appear on the paper were done in the making as each of the buttons in the set show these sort of lines,  but we mention this here for accuracy. The button is a scarce example and this button shows in the original slide of the set of 8 but not shown in her book. A picture of that page is attached.
