Stripes Obscuring Letters, Antique Cutout Watercolor Zebra on Penmanship Practice Scrap wooden lumberjack With gold banding at rimI've had some other old animals cut from scrap paper of this sort, but none so large or with watercolored stripes! Quite a charmer of a zebra I think, who also looks a lot like a donkey, and with penmanship practice repeated letters showing through the stripes and also covering the reverse side. 9" l x 7 1 2" t. Watercolor on card weight paper. Very good condition, c. 1900 I believe, found in Pennsylvania.
