DescriptionPaper drawing, either used to make a stencil or drawn from a stencil. Graphite, appears to be a botanical or fruit basket design. Part of a collection of stencils. Large stencils (PI1199A - PI1199W); small stencils (PI1199X-Z and PI1199AA-WA); drawings (PI1199GA, PI1199.1A.29 - PI1199.1A.32, PI1199.1A.35, PI1199.1A.42-.43, and PI1199.1A.45-.47).

Majority of the stencils appear to have been used many times with various colors of reds, greens, yelows, and browns painted around stencil openings.
