I was excited to find this

then spent much of her life in California

a labor union formed in 1915 to serve the interests of workers in the printing trade

Sad Eyed St. Bernard, 1909 Naive Watercolor by Katie Eby, Age 14, Pennsylvania Japanese bobble head I was excited to findThis is one of three watercolors by a young Katie Eby I purchased in PA from a great paper dealer, who I believe told me as I was purchasing them that they came from the estate of the important American folk art collector and gallerist John Gordon.

Labeled in cursive in graphite at the bottom (in case the barrel around his neck didn't give it away) and signed on
