A G.I. Fantasy







Seven drawings of World War II soldier Bill Bump's fantasy women. According to biographical information, Bill Bump was a small statured man standing 49 inches tall and weighing 122 lbs. Maybe that explains his caption on one of the drawings: "What strange things a tiny mouse can do!" Signed and dated 1944.

Carved Marble Portrait


Dated 1945 carved marble portrait of a woman. Similar to my last post, this is another variant where local artisans in Europe would create these personal souvenirs for American GIs to take home. Someone loved mom!
