Scope and Content

(AI)The Glass Display Dome: A large, antique glass cloche sits on top of a wooden dresser, protecting an intricate, multi-colored artificial or dried floral arrangement shaped like a decorative basket. The Accompanying Note: Inside the dome, there is a small typed index card providing historical context. While partially obscured by reflections and angle, some of the text can be made out: It notes "Hair work of..." or "Wax work of...". It includes names and dates, explicitly mentioning a "daughter of Peter Bull." It shows historical dates, including "Born Jan. 21, 1787" and "Died Feb. 14, 1857" (or 1859).
