Some aging to the brass and to the back side

with a tiny piece of cardboard I believe stuck inside to keep everything tightly upright

so lovely that I just couldn't pass them by

Emil Gottlieb's 1940s School Notebook with Excellent Drawings hoop skirt Some aging to the brassMy favorite find of the week or two weeks it has been for the first drawing of the mother cow alone! So good. Then that red salamander, and that daddy longlegs, and turtle, and skeleton, and the "snacs" [snakes] hatching and then fully grown. And especially the pair of mice, or cats , or ? one consuming bread and coffee, and the other, healthier I presume is the implication, having milk and cereal! Pure joy throughout, done by a young Emil Gottlieb
