Digging through old piles of paper that I've accumulated over the last number of years I turned up these three, from the days when learning about American history included making things with one's hands. And surely it is always a good time to remember Abe Lincoln. I've got a special love for folded paper crayon colored portrait frames like this, and love the toning shadow left by the cut paper silhouette from many years of being folded down the middle, too--feeling poignant now, like a portrait of two Americas. With a little poem handwritten on the back of that one ("three cheers for Lincoln") and then this nicely unfussy portrait of his log cabin, too.

Sold as group. Silhouette unfolded: 6" x 4 3/8". Paper frame 3 3/8" sq. Cabin 9" x 6" All in good condition. Frame and log cabin the work of a young Edna Mohler, 1911, and the silhouette by Robert Roth__, 1909.
