[QUOTE="Lucille.b, post: 636620, member: 51"]Can't make heads or tails out the sig, but does seem to be the one matched above. Funny because the woman who sold this said that she "knew the artist" and that he was African American from Baltimore. If it is Harry Dunn (signature seems really similar to the links above) Harry was neither African American, nor from Baltimore. Harry was a Caucasian from PA. A bit of trivia from one of the sites, also showed his photo: "Artist Harry Dunn: Artist. He is best known for being the creator of the famous NBC television network peacock logo. Born in West Chester, Pennsylvania, he studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and the Philadelphia College of Art. He worked as an artist-draftsman while in the army and after discharge designed many commercials for the major television networks. After living in New York he moved back to the Philadelphia area, and later settled back in West Chester. He died in 1998." So thinking either we haven't found the artist (...but sig really looks a match) OR former owner was mixed up. Label shows framed in Baltimore so she was probably correct about purchasing it in Baltimore, but maybe she had the other part wrong. Of course, it was the 60s.[/QUOTE]
