23 3/4" tall including post

but pages are generally clean and in overall good shape

Wonderfully Naive Antique Hand-Drawn Postcard Portrait old marbles in a combination of penI really couldn't love this drawing more, wonderfully naive and awkward but clearly done with a great deal of sincerity and affection for the subject! Against a charcoaled background she emerges rather like a vision, with this giant hat, I guess it is, reading a bit like a halo, and or a crown! On the reverse we learn that the postcard was sent to a Mrs. Jane Holt from "Aunt Selina", with the card "penciled and drawn by Eddie himself"! Great. 3 1 2" x
