Two Birds, Four Birds, Earlier 20th Century Paper Cut with Watercolor and Ink fancy dip pen filled instead with graphite drawings

filled instead with graphite drawings by a very young Milly Nash

and nice valentines now I'd say

Which makes me love it

and a fragment of a paper label as well

I purchased these from the collection of the late Elizabeth Baird

Two Birds, Four Birds, Earlier 20th Century Paper Cut with Watercolor and Ink fancy dip pen filled instead with graphite drawingsI found this folded in half, just the watercolor birds showing as in first photo, and I might show it that way myself, but nice to open it to see their echoes, with just a little decoration animating their wings, and then to flip it over to find all four in silhouette. I believe these are meant to represent Meadowlarks, but don't hold me to it face to face, beaks ajar as if mid chirp, I might call them love birds, too! Paper 9 1 2" square when
