Nonpareil, Old Birdlover's Watercolor eye for the New England Steamship

for the New England Steamship Company as the Islander

I believe American and think perhaps sailor made

just a hair larger than 4 1/4" x 2 1/4" each

I know based on a few other little watercolors I purchased along with it that it was done by a school girl in the 1800s

Nonpareil, Old Birdlover's Watercolor eye for the New England SteamshipA few more this week from a larger set of wonderful old naive watercolors birds, done by someone long ago who clearly loved their birds. With carefully handwritten in capital letters attributions on each that I think makes them extra good and the Nonpareil self evidently the best of all! Charming. 7" x 5" and in very good condition.
