A bit of a spooky inscription sets off this early circular photo from the turn of the last century. Image is appx 3 inches in diameter on 5 inch square card. 100% of selling price will go to the benefit of APUG. (Payment will be made directly to APUG.) Buyer pays only actual shipping. Enjoy!!

The inscription is a play on a song from _The Mikado_ by Gilbert and Sullivan, and I think it is just suggesting that the flowers in the photo are fake.
 
From 1901, it's certainly not quoting Tom Lehrer.
