Could anyone identify this? It's something that my great-grandfather picked up, possibly some time in the 1920'2 or 30's. The boats, birds and buildings are all detailed with gold paint. Apparently it was damaged in a fire some 40 years ago and was re-framed then. There is no visible signature or mark, and it's glued into the frame :(. Due to the damage, I have no idea how large the original might have been (each panel is aprox. 10 inches/28cm long) or if it was originally one or 2 pictures. Would just like to know where it's from for sure as I expect it was just something made to be sold to tourists.
Two Pics to highlight the gold paint, sorry for the poorish quality.
