Six Year Old Emma's Excellent Chickens, To Papa u.s. navy soldier and just fabulous I think

and just fabulous I think

It appears to have some decent age to it

this one with an old ribbon tied tightly around the top of the handle

and a pair of what I believe are red squirrels at top

which are well attached

Six Year Old Emma's Excellent Chickens, To Papa u.s. navy soldier and just fabulous I thinkThis is the last from a small group of wonderful drawings found by a young Emma Dilmore, early 1890s based on a few others in the group. And quite a prodigious young artist she was which her mother or teacher seems to have recognized too, noting that she was only six when she drew these hens as a New Year's present for her Papa! I'll never get over my love for old child made drawings like this, so full of life and just transcendently good. 6 3 8" x
