Bennie to Emma, Later 19th Century Ink Drawing of Hunter and Fisherman in Boat carved wooden canister Green felt on the underside

Green felt on the underside

I really love its squatness and its oddness and the significant love and labor invested in making it

but believe these likely date to the sometime 1920s-40s and they remain in excellent condition

19th century American

It really feels as if that spoon and kettle have existed forever

Bennie to Emma, Later 19th Century Ink Drawing of Hunter and Fisherman in Boat carved wooden canister Green felt on the undersideIf I were this fisherman, I might get out of the way! I really like this ink drawing for the manner of it, with the rendering of the bearded fisherman especially good (terrific use of line), and I also like it for the sense of these two hunters being at cross purposes, and maybe soon to tip over while that deer runs off into the woods. Late 19th century I believe, from Bennie to Emma. And I like it for 7" x 4". Very good condition.
