Cow Behind the Log Pile with Basket and Squirrel, Clever Old Naive Graphite Drawing childs plate and a note to Mrs

and a note to Mrs

The mug dates to the 1830s or so

with raised ring (feeling a bit like a wedding band

custom made exactly to their size and held together with old square nails

And so my favorite photographs are photographs of photographs

Cow Behind the Log Pile with Basket and Squirrel, Clever Old Naive Graphite Drawing childs plate and a note to MrsJust a clever little drawing, which makes me smile, including for the tiny squirrel hovering in the bottom left corner. I really love the way those piled logs were drawn too, contained between the stumps of the trees which, one presumes, yielded them. 4 3 4" x 4". Graphite on lined school paper, very good condition, earlyish 20th century.
