Tiny House, 19th C. Naive Graphite Drawing print stamp Not especially fancy but I

Not especially fancy but I must say this is one of the most beautiful carved whimsies I've ever seen due to the elongated shape of the two "balls" in their cages and most of all the incredible alligatoring of the white paint

as to me the painted houses on it remind me very much of early German Erzgebirge ones

There were commercially made boxes made for this purpose

Left AVAILABLE

There were probably once at least as few more drawers to make a complete grid

Tiny House, 19th C. Naive Graphite Drawing print stamp Not especially fancy but IJust the sort of little folk drawing I love, tiny but teeming with life, with a whole lot of personality to each of those trees, to say nothing of the very animated house! Found in PA, and sure feels like a portrait of a specific house to me. Paper: 4 1 8" x 3 1 4". drawing area: 2 3 4" x 2". Uneven size and rough bottom edge as evident; paper not fragile.
