Tall-tale Postcard: Gold Mine On The Farm
| Photomontage of a giant pig in a pen. A man, standing in the pen, is holding a giant ear of corn for the pig to eat. Numerous ears of oversized corn litter the ground in the pen as well. A young girl is standing outside the fence of the pen looking at the pig. A text box in the lower right corner says, "A Gold Mine On The Farm." As with most of Erickson's work, this postcard is credited to his studio, the "Photo Art Shop." |
