It is taken from a newspaper, La Domenica Del Corriere, October 6th 1946 - and Matteo tells me he has "the original" though I could not tell from his English if he meant he owns the original painting or has a copy of the newspaper from that date. Of course, as I knew and as Twink Monrad pointed out to me, saguaros (the huge cactus of the Sonoran Desert in the the Tucson area) do not grow in that the Holbrook region. I noted that was not the only point of "artistic license" taken by the artist. Still, a very entertaining image. Y'all will be able to see it on my hammers page, due to permission from Rob Wesel.
