Two Birds, Four Birds, Earlier 20th Century Paper Cut with Watercolor and Ink fancy dip pen with a bit of paintI found this folded in half, just the watercolor birds showing as in first photo, and I might show it that way myself, but nice to open it to see their echoes, with just a little decoration animating their wings, and then to flip it over to find all four in silhouette. I believe these are meant to represent Meadowlarks, but don't hold me to it face to face, beaks ajar as if mid chirp, I might call them love birds, too! Paper 9 1 2" square when
