Old Ink Drawing of Trudging Old Man lidded Graphite and crayon on ledger

Graphite and crayon on ledger paper

played with two dice and four pieces per player

but is tightly tied to the next piece with the string hardened

Very good vintage condition and ready to hang on the wall

making it a very early example of penmanship instruction

Ink stain along top edge, light corner creases, and light toning that makes it appear a bit as if he is standing in a beam of light.
