Picturesque Franklin, a Sunderland horse-chestnut man

Illustration of books -- United States
Pen drawing, American

A figurine made of two horse chestnuts the smaller of which serves as a head with eyes, nose, and face carved out, and the larger serves as a belly with buttons carved out. Sticks connect the two chestnuts together and give the man two arms and three legs. He is holding a flag on a pole in his right hand and he is wearing a hat. The words: "Sunderland horse-chestnut man" are written under the image.

Johnson, Clifton, 1865-1940
