Wonderful Cut Paper Tribute to FDR, with Silhouette, Framed as Found brass arrow 1870 stereoview

1870 stereoview

with a framed out niche on the back side that is in good shape

I really love the graphic nature of this one

but with pencil-drawn details

thin carved handle and fancy star wheel is 100% perfect

Wonderful Cut Paper Tribute to FDR, with Silhouette, Framed as Found brass arrow 1870 stereoviewI find this really wonderful. Probably done as school work, but I think quite transcendent. And feels like a poignant moment for thinking about FDR including as we watch our social safety net disappear. The arching cut paper numbers mark the span of his presidency. And then this silhouette bust on column, which feels very full of life to me. To my eye just right, down to every detail and imperfection. 10 3 4" x 8 3 4", framed, under glass, as found.
