    I am trying to find out more information on this item. This is a folder found in a relatives estate who lived in the same city as Charles Woodbury. There are a couple interesting things about this item. One is that the etchings were made for Milton Bradley Co. That as you know is a game company. I guess way back they commissioned artists to make etchings to inspire artists. Second, I can't seem to find these etchings anywhere except in books. If you know any info. on these please let me know. I guess what I am wondering is if these should be donated to a local museum or put up to auction?

    There are 7 sketches. I guess there were 10 when they came out.

      Many times back then, the Owner of Company "Milton Bradley? would use the Original etchings to produce the book and many times never returned original back to Freelance Artist. Basically Milton may have had or bought legal rights to artwork.
