Dove with Banner and Many Birds on Reverse, 1902 James Adaire, Spring Grove PA Ink and Crayon Drawing lapped wooden bowl which photos don't quite captureA final two by a young J. H Adaire of Spring Grove, PA today, this one from 1902 I bought and sold a handful a month or two ago, then went back to the seller to scoop up a handful more; just my sort of drawings. Here a Spencerian and very gentle seeming dove on one side with scrolling banner bearing the date and Adaire's monogram, and on reverse a bunch of birds on branches with flowers springing up everywhere. 7 1 8" x 4 7 16". There are a few tears
