I found these hanging side by side on a wall and they just struck me as beautiful things to display that way--the long necks of the swans together forming an upside down heart with front sides facing
sometimes set into the handle of a gun
and the two hinges on the back
may be the most refined of the bunch
as if it took a bit longer than expected--on the back
Colorful Boy and Warriors, c. 1920s-30s Naive Graphite and Crayon Drawing on 19th c. Ledger Paper hand painted sign I found these hanging sideThis is one of five drawings on ledger paper I am listing, all found together, with some 19th c. writing on some of the pages, but the drawings done a few decades later, I'm guessing 1920s or 30s, when a kid, or a couple of them, got a hold of the ledger This one I love for this colorfully crayoned, dapper looking boy in yellow pants and cap and color blocked jacket or cardigan, with wonderfully bright eyes. And all the better for being juxtaposed
