Willis Hutchinson 1883 Double-Sided Sketchbook Drawing: Houses, Boat, Volcano! folk art rider I would hang this rainbow

I would hang this rainbow colored xylophone directly on the wall to brighten the room with both color and sound

and also certainly undermining the "Happy Family" of the title

the dovetail box is missing the edge trim on one end of its sliding top

) Dating to the 1930s I believe

and a pretty rare one--the only other copy I can find of it out there is held int he Cornell University Library Rare and Manuscript Collection

Willis Hutchinson 1883 Double-Sided Sketchbook Drawing: Houses, Boat, Volcano! folk art rider I would hang this rainbowThis double sided drawing came from the small sketchbook of a Willis Hutchinson, dated 1883 84 almost all the pages were already loose, so Im listing the drawings individually. These drawings are just my sort of thing, filled with people and houses and animals and ships and all sorts of other little things, from a croquet game to a pocket watch to a slingshot, plus many sorts of chairs and kites and a unicycle too! With pretty amazing attention detail
