Frank Fumagalli

The image depicts a decorative glass paperweight with a label that reads "Anna H. Brown, Bridgeton, N.J." set on blue and white bands. Surrounding the central text are intricate patterns and swirls in pink, red, and green. The color palette includes muted tones with hints of bright blue and soft pinks. A smaller inset illustration of the paperweight is shown in the upper right corner. The illustration is set against a plain, off-white background.
