Image: Young boy playing Daddy reading the newspaper with a calabash pipe
at hand. He is sill in his pajamas, wearing his father’s slippers, all
suggesting his father was a regular morning paper reader.
And as a finishing touch, the boy nabbed his father’s wire rimmed
spectacles.
Giant calabash pipe is close at hand. Blue dress sister (?) looks on.
Printer’s signature: Not signed.
