PLAY FAIR! Late 1920s School Drawing by Richard Page Thurston
One would think it hard to argue with this one, though wouldn't it be nice if everyone live by it? Perhaps easier said then done, so a pretty good one to hang on the wall as a reminder I'd say, and how to beat Richard's big hand-drawn green letters? I dug this and a few other school drawings by Richard out from near the bottom of an overstuffed box at the flea market filled with old magazine, and know from a pile of old school penmanship exercises (which I'll be listing soon) that the maker was a Richard Page Thurton and that this dates to the late 1920s. Lots of context in which this could be great--and useful--hung on the wall! 12 1/8" x 9 1/8", crayon and pencil on construction paper. Corner tears, scattered stains and overall general wear, but still, so good!
