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

especially the two groups of rather mysterious looking figures in landscapes on either side of the box

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.
