Bumblebees and Clover Old Pencil Drawing German model train windmill but still looks pretty great

but still looks pretty great

and the long stacks are seven layers tall

and feels like a happy surprise every time I look at it

Bumblebees and Clover Old Pencil Drawing German model train windmill but still looks pretty greatI just love the little bumblebees buzzing around this drawing, captured flying in most every direction. Just a sweet little thing. Earlyish 20th century I believe, with a little staining along the left bottom edge and a couple of small folds to the right corners. 8 3 4" x 5 1 2".
