feeling perhaps like workers' housing

The slate on the back is blank

He certainly looks happy and eager holding his bat

which frame a long view with mountain in the distance

Heart pocket attached just at points on sides and toe

French Tailor's Receipt, 1900, With Scattered Portrait Doodles art pottery green vase feeling perhaps like workers' housingI love old pages of scattered doodles like this and can't resist them. And to my eye quite a satisfying overall composition formed here. Done on the back of a French tailor's receipt, dated 1900. Scattered toning and stains, and found folded in quarters, probably tucked inside of a book and forgotten for 100 years or so. 10 5 8" x 8". Fold lines and stains as evident which feel very much all of a piece with it.
