Here, Dorothy Hudgens recreates the Morton Salt Girl (invented 1914) in her presumably school age manner. The piece comes from a folder dated 1926. Dorothy Hudgens lived with two artistic sisters. All were pretty good! Still I wonder about branding young children.
Outsider art fans might be interested in this piece by the artist James Castle. Same time period, same salt? James Castle piece is taken from the web, I am afraid I don't know who owns the work.
