A vintage train case I upcycled as a custom order -- it's a birthday gift for an actress friend, commissioned by her husband. The order was for strong colors, lots of details. The ten actresses featured are Sarah Bernhardt, Eleanora Duse, Constance Collier, Zena Dare, Helena Modjeska, Adah Isaacs Menken, Ellen Terry, Phyllis Neilson-Terry, Alla Nazimova, and Blanche Bender.
