a couple of hairline cracks and little paint loss here and there

a bit of curling and a few smudges/light stains to the white border

This little boy with stick in hand makes me think of a young Napolean every time I look at him

Clara Hall's Early 20th Century School Artwork Portfolio with Watercolors, Drawings, Design, More antique cut paper hand a couple of hairline cracksSo fun finding this one quite a trove, all the work of a young Miss Clara Hall, who seems to have held on to every bit of her school artwork from the years around 1914 and kept it all inside a handmade, hard cover portfolio. Lots of individual treasures here that I think transcend their life as exercises, but as a whole also creating quite a comprehensive portrait of how art was taught in grade school in the earlyish 20th century.
