The Artwork of a sister and brother - 2 sketch books, a handmade moveable card and drawings

  • Dedham, MA , 1887
By Mary and Max Schadlish
Dedham, MA, 1887. Minimal wear.. A collection of 46 drawings, two (2) 3" sketch books and a movable paper slide card that adds or removes people from the scene. Based on the artwork Max is a bit older than Mary and their works pretty well conform to traditional gender roles. Max has a soldier on horseback, steamships, trains, buildings and maps including stand-up buildings and a lighthouse. Max also drew an group of people with German captions (most likely added by an adult). Mary draws flowers, birds and their nests, pretty geographic designs, a dog, plants and more. Uncharacteristically, Max created a large Cupid with pin pricks and Mary drew a picture of a serpent descending a tree. All found in a folio.
