ANTIQUE VICTORIAN Penmanship Autograph Page with Blue Bird

Welcome to ROBINS NEST MIDWEST! May I offer….

AGE: C.1890 or so

ITEM: From a Victorian era autograph book, here's a single page featuring a small drawing done in pen and ink. To "show off" penmanship, artistic Victorians would often leave vivid graphics on a page. In this case, W.I.Smith of Monerly, MO left a lovely depiction of a blue bird on a page. Coloring is red, black and blue.

CONDITION: Very nice with no problems other than one black dot above the blue bird and one blue ink smudge near the bottom of the page.

SIZE: Page measures 7-3/4" x 4-3/4" approx.

FINAL COMMENTS: Ready to frame!
