Ram and Rabbit in the Corner, 1907 Folk Art Ink Drawing

One of two more drawings today 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. It 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. Here a very ram-like ram occupying the center, but I think it is the little rabbit burrowed in the corner as if in hiding that really makes it. And makes it feel very much like a metaphor for all too familiar dynamics of behavior, too.

 8 7/8" x 5 1/2". Ink and graphite on lined paper, very good condition.
