This one is signed William S
This and the other retablo (listed and sold last week) both depict Las Cruz de Animas
which apparently is quite rare to find still intact
I am sure there are other examples of this particular Civil War era "patriotic" cover out there
useful for all sorts of things
Two Trails of Smoke (for Bernice), Charming c 1920s Ink Drawing of Smoking Woman on Pedestal runner This one is signed WilliamThis drawing is one of two ink over graphite drawings, clearly by the same person, listed today, which I like for their curiousness, and for the women who are their subjects, who look quite self possessed, this one perched on what looks like the remnant of a classical column, smoking away, as if sitting back and watching the fall of Rome! 6 1 2" x 4 7 8", good condition, c. 1920s I believe.
