02 – Tonnesen’s Signed and Attributed Prints
Prints bearing signatures or attributions from Lois’ collection
Picture 5 of 28
Mother holding sleeping child. Hand-printed signature "Beatrice Tonnesen" at bottom left. Despite the copyright "1927 MP Co., Chicago," at bottom right, I (Lois) think the photo from which this print came, was created ca 1920. The model who posed as the mother in this print is seen in an ad for toothpaste in a 1920 issue of Theatre magazine. And the child is also seen in earlier prints.
