Some browning around edges. Print is a brown backer board. The reverse has newspaper glued to it with an article about Frank W. Stearns' April 4 departure from Washington, D.C. Stearns was a close friend of Calvin Coolidge. Probably late 1920s.
Pen and ink drawing, "Moravian Church Lancaster, PA, 1818." At base far right small print reads" from a rough" and is cut off at that point so maybe this is a portion of a larger drawing.
