Art From a Man 152 Years Old.
My dog wanted to go to the backyard and I saw that my dad was in the grarage, so I went in and I saw him with this big trunk. It was very old and had the name H. Koster Jr. engraved on it. It turns out my dad's friend was going to throw it out, but instead my dad decides to take it. My dad opened it and inside there was a lot of rolled up pieces paper and some things in frames. It turns out a lot of those rolled up paper and frames were filled with art this guy did in the 1800s and early 1900s. His art is really good too, lots of drawings, watercolored in, and some paintings in there too. Some of the paper was also his graduation certificate of the second grade (1866), a map of america, some other certifcates, one about a medal of honor. There was also a few books about "Amazing Art of the World" made in the late 1800s, a lot of realism in there. Some books were about photography too. It was very interesting to see. I'll get a picture of it later.
