From Buckles



The elephant's head used in Chic's balancing chair picture is "Josky" as seen above in 1957.

I've BEEEN SENDING THAT PIC AROUND FOR >YEARS< ASKING FOR DETAILS AND THIS IS THE FIRST ANSWER I HAVE RECEIVED. NOW, HOW WAS PHOTO MADE?? HOPE I LIVE LONG ENOUGH TO FIND OUT.

I always assumed this was an somewhat overhead shot of an elephant coming down a ramp while unloading and the head replaced?

Sounds like a good bet to me. Thanks. I don't think the fellow who did such a nice job ever got credit.
