    Description

    These three antique drawings of Chinese persons all bear the legend '
    Copyright, 1898, by the Dodge Stationery Co.'
    and a signature alleged to be "Gertrude Partington".  They are on very thin paper, and, according to a university in California,
    were copyright "
    By Permission. From "
    A Real Chinese Calendar
    ".
    Each is in a
    very
    inexpensive 12" x 15" frame, under glass, but they have been languishing in the cellar for many, many years and, as you can see in the rather poor photos, they have water stains; in addition, the picture of the woman and child was apparently chewed by an art-critic mouse.  Professional re-framing would enhance the appeal of these approximately 120 year old
    drawings, I suspect.
