Willis Hutchinson 1883 Double-Sided Sketchbook Drawing: Faces, Stove, Star, Ships clever drawing and the lid slides on

and the lid slides on and off easily

Quite an evocative thing I think

designer Eileen Gray

And it looks lovely on the table or shelf when not in use--or string a ribbon through the hole at the end and hang it up

and I love how time has softened the the edges and mellowed the original gold paint

Willis Hutchinson 1883 Double-Sided Sketchbook Drawing: Faces, Stove, Star, Ships clever drawing and the lid slides onThis double sided drawing came from the small sketchbook of a Willis Hutchinson, dated 1883 84 almost all the pages were already loose, so Im listing the drawings individually. These drawings are just my sort of thing, filled with people and houses and animals and ships and all sorts of other little things, from a croquet game to a pocket watch to a slingshot, plus many sorts of chairs and kites and a unicycle too! With pretty amazing attention detail
