there it was

12 pages filled front and back (24 pages of writing

but not tiny: 4" t x 3 5/8" w x 3/4" d

but as they are of the same ilk--both made in the Soviet Union in the 1930s or so--and seem well suited to one another

Girl Inside a Red Poppy! 1910 Hand-painted Watercolor Postcard little painted wooden geese there it wasA total gem I think. I take it to be a lush red poppy (my personal favorite flower) from which this little girl is peeking out her head, which makes it seem a bit like an Opium fueled vision! Sent by a Dieterich to an Elizabeth Burmann in 1910, along with the news that Dieterich was not feeling well and the Rich Boatman's wife was dead! 5 5 8" x 3 5 8" and in great antique condition.
