Willis Hutchinson 1883 Double-Sided Sketchbook Drawing: Kite, Animals, Tools, Apple cardboard glasses including for the fact thatThis double sided drawing came from the small sketchbook of a Willis Hutchinson, dated 1883 84 almost all the pages were already loose, so Im listing the drawings individually. These drawings are just my sort of thing, filled with people and houses and animals and ships and all sorts of other little things, from a croquet game to a pocket watch to a slingshot, plus many sorts of chairs and kites and a unicycle too! With pretty amazing attention detail
