Many Faces, 1922 Pencil Drawings on Bank Stationary, Bedford Iowa dusting brush including the establishment of Durkee

including the establishment of Durkee

perhaps next to the matte green of arts and crafts pottery

It was executed in what appears primarily to be graphite

made all the better by the combination of dark wood and black bristles flecked with blonde ones

and which from what I understand originated in China but became very popular as a parlor game in Victorian England
