Kingfisher, 1905 Ink and Crayon Drawing by J.H. Adair, Spring Grove, PA folk art paper weaving Based on the characters onI purchased this and several more drawings by the same maker from a seller in Pennsylvania, where they originated, the work of a J. H Adair of Spring Grove, PA, who signed a few of them and dated a couple 1905.
