This antique French, First Communion canivet is circa 1800s. Measuring the same as a carte de visite, it is 4 "x 2 1/2". The figure and his accoutrements are hand-colored, and jacket has a velvety surface. The detail is superb. Thank you to https://www.casacenina.com/blog/canivet-the-ancient-paper-art.html for the interesting history of the canivet.
Please note the discoloration to the paperwork as well as what I believe to be an area missing a piece in the upper left hand corner. Do let me know if you would like more photos as I'll be happy to oblige.
