the more primitive the better--exactly my favorite sorts of drawings given permanence by being engraved into horn

photographed from below as if perpetually held in view

mostly boxes of various sorts) out there which I don't find very interesting

The engraving and text page are attached via linen tape to a a paper mat with a cutout overlay—easily separated in order to frame the engraving

Elsie Zimmerman's Elementary School Watercolor Color Chart, c. 1930s antique papered box the more primitive the better--exactlyI love a color chart of all sorts, and this is a very sweet one, executed in watercolor by a young Elsie Zimmerman, c. 1930s I believe. Perfectly imperfect, and with hand painted labels to the colors of the 12 squares at top, primaries then secondaries. Charming. 12" x 9". Good condition, color remains strong. A little wear to corners of paper, minor.
