It's a photocopy of a drawing. It was sent to my great aunt in America by 90 year old Guy Maynard, great-grandson of David and Rebecca, in 1967. There were some very poor photocopies of some photos too, which I later found originals of in a Maynard photo album (thank goodness for the photocopies as the pictures in the album were not named), but I've never found the original of the drawing. I guess it may be held by a descendent of the 90 year old cousin? I might have to look into that! lol He and his father were both museum curators, so hopefully the hoarding gene will have been passed on?!! Perhaps they have other things too?!!!
*forgets Christmas in scrabble to do some more research* |

But the drawing is great too. |
