Inspired by a cased tintype found in the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC) online archives, this semi-reproduction interprets the motif embellishment that's debossed into the velvet on the left side of the case.
About the series: Closely Kept is a series of numbered patterns that showcase the unique motifs in NMAAHC's collection of photo cases. Although most of their identities are lost to time, these cases were surely treasured and closely kept.
