This is one of a bunch of drawings by a D.B Webber of Concord, New Hampshire that I found together in a plastic sleeve digging through the files of a favorite antiquarian bookseller in Maine, all dated 1907--and it really made my day to find them, just my sorts of drawings, and of the sort it feels harder and harder to find. I haven't managed to definitively identify their maker, but there are plenty of records for Webbers in Concord and nearby. I think these pretty much speak for themselves--and of a lively mind, and eye, and hand, for sure. Love this mother hen with her chicks, and wonderful dog and pig and tower, too. And this one is double-sided, with birds, flowers and a couple of dog (?) heads on reverse.
9" x 5 3/4". Ink on lined paper, good condition.
