Kingfisher, 1905 Ink and Crayon Drawing by J.H. Adair, Spring Grove, PA folk art paper weaving but there is some drynessI purchased this and several more drawings by the same maker from a seller in Pennsylvania, where they originated, the work of a J. H Adair of Spring Grove, PA, who signed a few of them and dated a couple 1905. These are the sorts of drawings that get me excited; I couldn't snatch them up fast enough pure joy, and you may know by now I've a special fondness for naive bird drawings, all the better identified with a title, and carrying a fish in mouth!
