Elsie Zimmerman's Elementary School Watercolor Color Chart, c. 1930s antique papered box Great from every angle

Great from every angle

especially the two groups of rather mysterious looking figures in landscapes on either side of the box

only one remains but it is holding all the pages together well

On reverse

the more primitive the better--exactly my favorite sorts of drawings given permanence by being engraved into horn

Elsie Zimmerman's Elementary School Watercolor Color Chart, c. 1930s antique papered box Great from every angleI love a color chart of all sorts, and this is a very sweet one, executed in watercolor by a young Elsie Zimmerman, c. 1930s I believe. Perfectly imperfect, and with hand painted labels to the colors of the 12 squares at top, primaries then secondaries. Charming. 12" x 9". Good condition, color remains strong. A little wear to corners of paper, minor.
