Building a Log Cabin and Observing the Environs, 1953 Spiral Bound Pocket Sketchbook Qajar vase Spine measures 6 1/2" x

Spine measures 6 1/2" x 1 5/8"

but polished up beautifully with no effort at all

The hand-painted design--really a drawing on clay--reminds me of car race flags

The box has clearly seen some watercoloring

All drawings documented. 6" x 4" notebook. All pages with drawings pictured, with empty pages
