Dick, Thanks for sharing this impressive image with all of us on the Forum. I managed to secure one also over a decade ago including the original frame whilst in the U.S but was then confronted with $800 in freight to get it back to Australia due to its size so I did a trade with a local east coast SDC member where I figure it still resides.

Astonishing that any of them, even one, survive well over a century after they were distributed to Studebaker dealers. Think of how many times each was probably moved and possibly thought to be unnecessary. Amazing. BPWe've got to quit saying, "How stupid can you be?" Too many people are taking it as a challenge.

Interesting, to me, is the differences between the painting and the lithograph.
So, Richard, are you saying you would offer replicas? What sizes would work best for reproduction at a reasonable price?John Clary

Lithography is a labour intensive process, therefore it's expensive. Most especially lithography of the quality this original is reputed to display. I would think a lithograph in the original size would cost well over a hundred dollars and expect poor Dick wouldn't be making much profit if any at all.
Does anyone know the fate of the original?Home of the famous Mr. Ed!
