Unidentified American Boy (about 1936)


Figure 1.--Here we hve a portrait from the E.R. Deats Studio, Philadelphia. It appears that an oil painting, perhaps based on a photograph. It shows a boy reading a Disney Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck book. The oil is signed Frederick Gill 1936. I thought at first that this was the boy's name, but it must be the artist's name. The boy wears a dark short pnts suit with a sports collar.

This was a very early period in the history of the Mouse House. Mickey had just appeared a few years earlier. The oil is signed Frederick Gill 1936. I thought at first that this was the boy's name, but it must be the artist's name. The boy wears a dark short pnts suit with a sports collar.
