19th C. Watercolor of Eagle with Arrows and Flower Chinese dragon I've become pretty fascinated by

I've become pretty fascinated by these penmanship practice notebooks

plus a watercolor cow on the cover

and might a little more

not including woven hanging loops at top or fringe at bottom

with a little softening to the points of the corners

19th C. Watercolor of Eagle with Arrows and Flower Chinese dragon I've become pretty fascinated byI'm finding myself drawn to American eagles in all sorts of incarnations of late with a certain sense of urgency at least in good part for fear of their extinction! I find this naive eagle watercolor in shades of peach especially winning, with arrows tipped in what look like hearts held in one talon, and what looks like a tulip on stem in the other. 19th century, probably Pennsylvania. Framed, as found, mounted to a black mat: 10 3 4 x 8 5 8 ; 5 x 4 1
