But fun hung on the wall the rest of the time

and they fit pretty well in it

A couple of rough spots to the wood on the top and one knot along one side

Double Sided 19th C. Mensuration Notebook Page with Watercolor Diagrams in Period Frame heavy chain But fun hung on theI just can't resist a pretty diagram, all the more so in watercolor on the page of an earlyish 19th century mensuration notebook, and even better in a terrific period frame holding two pieces of glass, so as to make the flip side with more diagrams visible on reverse. Lovely just to look at, but also nice to be reminded of how to calculate the area of a square, draw an angle from a quadrilateral, etc! Framed as found: 10 1 8" x 8 11 16 x 3 4. Paper: 6
