The cover of the 2017 Museum of International Folk Art exhibition book for "No Idle Hands: The Myths and Meaning of Tramp Art." The cover photograph shows a partial view of what is described as a "polychrome S-curve frame. Wood paint, US, late 19th-early 20th century, 24 x 17 x 2 inches." The carving style is called "chip work."

The 2017 exhibition book for the Museum of International Folk Art, "No Idle Hands: The Myths and Meaning of Tramp Art." It includes 2 photos of Adolph Vandertie's exquisitely carved whimsy sticks. I used it to for a character's backstory.
