Unknown author, 1711?

I, too, something like the picture. She came from England.

What a strange inscription on your back. The first word may be, for example, read as "Mon" or "Mac"; then read "Mon Gill" (it could write a copyist) or "Mac Gill". There was a gallery in London, while standing in front of the number can be interpreted as an inventory number. But in fact, the word "Gill" also means a measure of volume (1 /4 pint), then the inscription "???? M?? Gill?? 1 ^?? Spoon Heat "can be interpreted as a recipe. You have read "1 ^ nick (?) Spoon" as "1 nickel spoon," but it denies the story of the year 1711, for nickel was discovered in 1751 But perhaps the word Spoon and Heat - someone's name.

I'm more inclined to the version that your picture is a copy of one of the paintings British artist Edmund Gill (Edmund Gill, 1820 - 1894). He was at one time it was very well known for its river scenery, often written in that color scheme as you. The picture in the attachment, incidentally, is also a number (555), but it is - if not a year. In the network there are reproductions of paintings n /v "-style" E. Gill. Monogram is "AEL" by your picture, unfortunately, is not available to me references monograms. The artist is likely a fan, and define it can only be purely accidental.
