For Roycroft Men Art is a Matter of Haircut

   Artists have always liked long hair - as Ali Baba's quote here (Elbert's, actually) indicates. My guess is that the artist with the curls on the right is Dard Hunter - see his photo below for comparison. Dard was extremely talented; working in graphic and book design, stained glass, copper, furniture, pottery and iron. This caricature to the left and photo of Dard, below, are from the book Head, Heart & Hand, published for the 1995 Roycroft exhibit by the same name. The book - now in reprint - is available in soft cover at the Roycroft Copper Shop.

You can see Dard Hunter's designs at the Roycroft Copper Shop Museum (31 South Grove St., East Aurora) and reproductions of several of his light fixtures are hanging in the Inn across the street as well as the window designs.

I see the illustration is by Denslow , so who knows who he was portraying?

My name is Pat Lawrence. My grandmother was Coral Lawrence, last wife of Alex Fournier. If I have any relations, even by marriage, I would like to meet them. I could trade memories of Alex. Thank you. Pat
