Not quite as lifelike as those beauty salon-bust play sets from my childhood. Close, though. From the March issue of Good Housekeeping .

24 Feb 2023 1 116
Same author and publisher as previous photo. "Elmwood, H. 103 (261.5) Albright-Knox Art Gallery, Buffalo, N.Y., USA Photo the artist" Many more versions and lots more history at The Tate .

"King and Queen," Henry Moore 1952-53

24 Feb 2023 1 174
From A Concise History Of Modern Sculpture by Herbert Read, 1964, Published by Frederick A. Praeger, Inc. "Bronze. H. 64 1/2 " (163.5) Collection W. J. Keswick, Glenkiln, Scotland Photo the artist" Sorry for the distortion at left. This is a thick, heavy book. Not easy to press flat on the scanner. But I really wanted this photo online, because it's an unusual view. There's something special about seeing what the sculptor himself wanted us to see when he arranged a picture. The Tate's website has lots more to see and learn for anyone who's interested.

No handwriting or postmarks on the back. I've guessed at the time period, based on other, similar cards I've seen on other sites. Text says only: "Union Postale Universelle, Post Card, Made In China." Enlarged to show detail.

No date or stamp on the back. Someone started to fill it out, but I guess they decided to keep it. I can't really blame them. It's a great image. (Shown slightly larger than original size.)
