I am not disclosing the location of these beautiful cement folk art tributes in a yard in Georgia. As I recall, the artist has been written about some...but these photographs are over 20 years old and I do not know if the work still stands. Hank Aaron, an airplane, a bird. African-American Folk Art Sculpture created as environmental work tends to end up in others hands if it can be moved. I hope this work remains or has found a museum home by now.

These were essentially among the first "publicity photographs" and sold at the stage door following performances.
Original cabinet card photographs by Frank Wendt circa 1910 (Wendt was the understudy of Chas Eisenmann, famed circus freak photographer.)
