This pictorial makes sense now

Never knew who the girl was or

the elephant either

Where does this come from? Don't recall seeing it before. It's height to width ratio doesn't suggest a poster. Odd that it uses "world's greatest shows." Nevertheless, extremely attractive!

I think this is Alfonso Loyal's sister, and I can not remember her name. This would be after they came to this country in 1932. I think I have seen a photo of this maybe in 33'. The Joe Heiser collection at the the city of Houston library has/had a couple of these lithos.

Sorry can't remember Dick as I

get stuff sent to me from many

friends that know my addiction

It didn't look like this when

it arrived & it needed quite a

bit of restoration (photoshop)

The proportion may have changed

Not being a historian by any

stretch it doesn't matter to me

(pardon the pun)

The illustration of the elephant

is poorly done however compared

to the rest of the artwork & it

had no signature or credit

I never modify any artwork

Chic Silber said...


This artwork seemed to match up

to Myrna Silverlake's mention

4paw of her aunt Ruby & Alice

We have this framed in the living room. Tim Tegge may have done some restorative work. Whatever the case, it looks great!

The image that was sent to me a

long time ago (not from Tegge)

was in very sad shape & distorted

There were blotches & holes in it

No recollection of who sent it

I spent considerable time on it

to get it back into this shape
