"You Humans have so much art! Do you have machines to make all paintings, poems, stories and songs?"

“Frog,” said Toad, “I can’t see anything. I will not be able to wear your beautiful present. This is a sad birthday for me.”

Another old Cambridge street watercolour, done sitting on the low wall at the front of St John's. This is Bridge Street with autumn coming on. Someone wearing a gown is cycing along. Sold a while ago and scanned from a film photo of the original.
