19th C. Graphite School Drawings Lot #1: Dogs mid-century abstract On the interior of one

On the interior of one is hand-written "8"

but imagine it would shine up some if desired

A pretty classic set

which I understand from the seller came from a notable private Americana collection

This one I take for a medieval battle scene

19th C. Graphite School Drawings Lot #1: Dogs mid-century abstract On the interior of oneAs you surely know by now, nothing delights me more than old drawings, the more naive the better. These dogs are from a larger group of 19th c. graphite drawings I found yesterday at a show in New Hampshire, which I've divided into sets so many fabulous little animals! In addition to the dogs themselves, I really love the capital letter handwriting on this. Sold as set. Mastiff: 6 11 16" x 4 7 8". Thibet: 5" x 5 7 16". Dalmation: 5" x 4 11 16". All in
