C. 1912 Chicks for Sale / W. F. Fancher Athletics Illustration ice skating )--whose lodges are called aeries--wasThis came from a big lot of drawings by a W. F Fancher done as part of illustration class, most marked up with comments and corrections by his instructor. I have a feeling Fancher repurposed the watercolor Chicks for Sale sign in order to make his athletics illustration, but the former is the side I really love including for the little tears and holes, as if the chicks went to work on it! Just sort of a perfect found thing. Blue watercolor lettering.
