Antique Hand-drawn Postcard, Boy with Elephant and Frog folk art holder While some of the graphite

While some of the graphite drawings in it show some smudging and softening--no great surprise

and looks to be quite an old one

and the  fishtail shape distinguishing it as a "distant signal

7 1/2" x 5 1/2" I think maybe tempera on wood panel

Antique Hand-drawn Postcard, Boy with Elephant and Frog folk art holder While some of the graphiteQuite a charmer of a hand drawn postcard I think, dated 1910, executed in red and black ink on card, with a printed Canada postcard back. I love everything about this boy (look at those lines for bangs), but especially his strangely shaped right hand! And then how the blades of grass around the frog read also ike a burst of electricity as the boy points to it. All while the lonely elephant at upper right wanders away. 5 1 2 x 3 3 8". Very good
