Hand-drawn Pen and Ink Antique Calling Card with Two Birds black and white bat sculpture The smaller 3 1/2" xThis is a charming antique calling card, which I'd guess dates to the 1860s 1880s. I just love this pair of birds gracefully perched on a branch, each holding one side of the ribbon or scroll that announced a Clarence A. Corning, I believe it reads. Hand drawn in blue ink (a few small smears on the leaves of the branch on which the birds sit make it clear this is drawn rather than printed) on cardstock weight board. Really a lovely little thing. 2 1
