Three Kid Drawn Fighter Planes in Pencil emily stockman plate as a means of responding

as a means of responding to the changed conditions of its mid-20th century context

I love the handle for easy carrying from one spot to another

which certainly makes one want to get out a real ink pen and write a real letter

with just a bit of scratching to the bone

Three Kid Drawn Fighter Planes in Pencil emily stockman plate as a means of respondingLast one of these c. 1930s kid drawings of planes. I love children's drawing in general, but have a special fondness for ones like these that clearly represent a consuming interest of their maker, and one can just imagine all of these specific planes all meeting in the sky of this young boy's mind! And I'd certainly bet he imagined himself as the little pilot he's made sure to include in each of them. These just make me happy. 8 3 4" x 6 7 8" Good
