Original art created to illustrate a book about the foods of the world, one depicting a banana tree and a man loading harvested bananas onto the back of a donkey, the other a coconut palm with a man fishing nearby. Both are full of incidental detail, for example, the orchid growing near the coconuts.
Condition: Generally very good with the usual light toning, soiling, wear, faint scattered staining. Margins a bit worn, lightly bumped, but easily matted out. Overall very good for working illustration art.
