Me and my airship, or The Report of 1911

Found these delightful ink depictions of Edwardian Gibson girls in a box of school papers from 100 years ago. The artist was a Canadian girl of sixteen.
"Report of the Weather, different birth-days and what I spend through the year of 1911
Near Monarch, Alta., Canada."

"Me and my airship. What do you think of it?"


"They who wash on Monday,
Have all the week to dry,
They who wash on Tuesday,
Are not so much awry."

The ink of 16 year old girls could be my new architecture, my religion of hope. At least it doesn't break my heart like post-it notes in lockers.
