ARKANSAS! Lovely Hand-drawn Ink and Watercolor Map by William Donaldson, St. Louis Central High, 1857 Tofa wooden finger puppets which perfectly complement the squares

which perfectly complement the squares (and one round) of the other

allowing one to vary his gait and raise his ears and tails straight up

but such is life

With three pretty white porcelain mixing pots rimmed in blue

and though I have yet to do this myself

ARKANSAS! Lovely Hand-drawn Ink and Watercolor Map by William Donaldson, St. Louis Central High, 1857 Tofa wooden finger puppets which perfectly complement the squaresI've got a special love for hand drawn maps of many sorts (even more so now, as paper maps have become a relic of the pre digital pre GPS age), and this is a lovely one, red and black ink and watercolor. A fairly early one as far as American schoolwork maps go, and pretty rare that I see one devoted to a single state. (If only I had for each of the 31 states that existed in 1857, when William Donaldson drew and signed this!) I do have Ohio, though,
