Description

Paper art calendar advertising Ott Brothers of Charles Town, West Virginia. A small calendar booklet is attached to a cardstock print of a cabin near a snowy mountain lake. There are bordering indentations in the cardstock around the image, created a matted frame. Text at bottom of the image reads: THE MURMURING PINES and is copyrighted 1909. The artist's signature is in the bottom right corner. Above the image reads text: COMPLIMENTS OF OTT BROS., Shoes, --Hats-- &c., Charles Town, W. Va. All that remains of the calendar booklet is the page for December 1911. The number 329 is stamped on the back in purple ink. See late 1890s photo of Ott Brothers Store (Liberty St. near intersection with George St.) in ARC669.
