of desire among other things

though I quite like the little bunny seeming to be looking in on a caged animal from the outside

I might mount it on the wall and hang a few things from its arms

I spotted this beauty from across the room and made a bee-line for her

Chas. Frey 1898 Lancaster PA Drawing Book with Excellent Graphics antique steel mold of desire among other thingsThis drawing instruction book was published in 1889 in Lancaster, PA by Charles H. Frey, a Lancaster PA boot and shoe merchant, and includes instructions for a mail in drawing contest at back. I love old drawing instruction books which are also useful in providing something of a source key to naive drawings that show up in other places and really love the graphicness of line drawings against black ground here. Plus a sweet inscription from Elizabeth
