Excellent pencil / charcoal drawing as shown on an old book page.

Info on page:  Drawing for a war fund poster by L. Pasternak.

This is the original page from the old book -- not a copy or duplicate

I recently purchased a 25-year collection of magazines, art, advertisements, book plates, bulletins, programs, booklets, etc. from a local collector.  This page is from that collection. Penciled on back of page is '16.  I am assuming that he dated this page when he removed it from the old book. I don't know what the book was, or exact date, other than his date placed on the page.  1916 timing would be about correct for this artist.  I also included a photo of the opposite side of the page.  It has an illustration and two columns of text at bottom.  Page heading says "Studio-Talk."

Page size is 8" x 10".  Actual drawing size is 5" x 8".  It would look great matted and framed. 

I'll place the page inside a plastic sleeve and secure to a piece of white foam board for stability.  Mailing will be by USPS First Class inside a bubble envelope.  I'll mail same day, or next day after PayPal payment is received.

A little info on the artist:
