Tan Paper Mouse from Rev. Ross McClellan

Object/Artifact

-

St. Joseph Museums

The image features a hand-drawn, cartoon-like figure resembling a mouse or similar animal with large ears, a long nose, and simple limbs. It appears to be made from a piece of paper cut into the shape of the character, which is then placed on a yellow notepad that has lined paper. There are visible folds and tape marks on the cutout, indicating that it may have been handled or used for some time. On the figure's body, handwritten text is visible but partially obscured by a fold, with "Curool" being one discernible word. Overall, the image gives an impression of a child’s art project or a whimsical and nostalgic piece of handmade artwork.
