Elsie Zimmerman's Elementary School Watercolor Color Chart, c. 1930s antique papered box The engraving and text page

The engraving and text page are attached via linen tape to a a paper mat with a cutout overlay—easily separated in order to frame the engraving

1865 embossed on the sleeve

mostly boxes of various sorts) out there which I don't find very interesting

only one remains but it is holding all the pages together well

especially the two groups of rather mysterious looking figures in landscapes on either side of the box

Elsie Zimmerman's Elementary School Watercolor Color Chart, c. 1930s antique papered box The engraving and text pageI love a color chart of all sorts, and this is a very sweet one, executed in watercolor by a young Elsie Zimmerman, c. 1930s I believe. Perfectly imperfect, and with hand painted labels to the colors of the 12 squares at top, primaries then secondaries. Charming. 12" x 9". Good condition, color remains strong. A little wear to corners of paper, minor.
