Colorful Boy and Warriors, c. 1920s-30s Naive Graphite and Crayon Drawing on 19th c. Ledger Paper hand painted sign and the two hinges on

and the two hinges on the back

Stimmel quickly turned up George Stimmel

but I think there is another nose and shaggy head just to left of her elbow making it three

but there is a date of 1877 carved into the back

I had not made the association when I purchased this photo

Colorful Boy and Warriors, c. 1920s-30s Naive Graphite and Crayon Drawing on 19th c. Ledger Paper hand painted sign and the two hinges onThis is one of five drawings on ledger paper I am listing, all found together, with some 19th c. writing on some of the pages, but the drawings done a few decades later, I'm guessing 1920s or 30s, when a kid, or a couple of them, got a hold of the ledger This one I love for this colorfully crayoned, dapper looking boy in yellow pants and cap and color blocked jacket or cardigan, with wonderfully bright eyes. And all the better for being juxtaposed
