Don Pratt's Art Folio, Sheridan Junior High, 1938-39 wooden objects France to place rebus platesI can never leave folios of school drawings like this behind even as some of the exercises featured have become familiar to me from having handled a number of them, each remains very much its own special thing. This one was the work of a Don Pratt at Sheridan Junior High, 1938 39; I found it in Maine, but I only turn up references to a Sheridan Junior High in Sheridan, Wyoming, so maybe it had already travelled quite a ways to arrive in my hands.
