Paper is somewhat brittle but overall good condition

His work is featured in collections including Baltimore Museum of Art

Man vs. Giant Wooden Snake, Curious c. 1940s Snapshot Photo sister Paper is somewhat brittle butThis snapshot, and a few other photos listed today, came out of a larger bundle taken in and around Arizona in the early 40s or so. I can't quite tell if the man in this one with club (or giant vegetable???) raised as if to clobber this giant folk art snake is the same as the one riding a mechanical pony in another but certainly they share the spirit of adventure! Roadside attraction or large folk art environment, I have no idea, but I'm glad this
