Little Houses, Double Sided Child's Drawing handmade wall box founded in 1893 by brothers

founded in 1893 by brothers Stephen Bartlett Foster and John Roy Foster

the lid is in very good antique condition with just very minor losses

Exemplifying exquisite craft

And with the matte cream of the ground framing the oval portrait just the right thing

There are a couple of fleabites on the rim but otherwise very good condition

Little Houses, Double Sided Child's Drawing handmade wall box founded in 1893 by brothersThe more finished drawing here is in crayon the flip side, but I prefer these preparatory I assume, by a child determined to get them right graphite drawings, especially the little continuous line drawing at upper right. Nothing as purely satisfying as old kid drawings of houses I think. 8 1 4 x 6 1 2" and in good condition.
