1904 Hand-drawn Postcard, Black Ink Dog Silhouettes copper enameled late 1960s-70sCreated by a Charles Bacon in 1904 and mailed to a Miss Littledale, I just like the graphic nature of this black ink drawing of pair of dogs, or rather one dog drawn in two positions, almost like a stop motion animation or a diagram of a dance. To my eye, just a lovely little thing. 5 9 16" x 3 9 16. There is a some light black ink stain spotting at upper left; overall good condition.
