This vintage lady in a lovely Victorian gown, reading a book, is from the November 1891 issue of The Delineator magazine, the same old magazine I posted the cover of earlier today. This is the “before” image that I’m including for those of you that would rather have a shabby image to work with. 
And this is the “after” image for those that would prefer the image cleaned up.
