Elmer S. Hill, Haydenville MA, 1888 Christmas Tree Drawing cryptomeria and then a green silkOne of two final drawings by Elmer S. Hill of Haydenville MA, extracted from a notebook that was already coming apart when I found it, so I went ahead and divided it up. This one is dated 1888 at the base of the tree, and what a great tree I think it is, loaded up with little pencil drawn ornaments on the lower half and blazing candles on top. I'm not especially big on holidays but hanging this one on the wall might me want to sing carols under it all
