What Do You Call Your Rabbit? 1903 Watercolor Postcard from Vera to Carlton Sparks siamese cat holding a red cross flag

holding a red cross flag to boot

Wilson certainly succeeded in his mission--this elephant is an incredible walker

The stuffing feels like more like grain than soft stuffing --no scent to it

What Do You Call Your Rabbit? 1903 Watercolor Postcard from Vera to Carlton Sparks siamese cat holding a red cross flagPostmarked 1903 and mailed from a young Vera in Prineville Oregon to her cousin "Master Carlton Sparks" in Allendale, California, with a watercolored Dutch boy and girl holding hands, surely Vera's own creation. I especially love her asking her cousin (from whom she recently received a "nice little letter") for the name of his rabbit, and letting him know she will send him a picture of an Easter rabbit she drew and painted. If only I had that! 5 1 2"
