Thanks for starting this thread, Alan! Such unique pieces - I particularly like the silhouette-esque drawings such as the one depicting Ruth. Very nice!
I have one original drawing from my collection to share. It's a hand-drawn sketch of Nap Rucker from a Brooklyn local at the time (on the back of the drawing, the artist made note of his Brooklyn address and the year - 1913). Quite the lovely piece with much character and what I assume is an even more interesting backstory given the local origin.
