Unit price perAbout the Artwork:
While the exact artist is unknown, "Man's head on a watermelon body" was produced by the print shop of Clay & Richmond, a Buffalo, New York-based company known for their playful chromolithographs in the mid-19th century. These vibrant prints were popular for their humorous and often bizarre imagery.
This particular chromolithograph features a curious sight: a man's head sitting atop a plump watermelon body. The man retains his clothing, with a shirt collar and dress slacks above and below the smooth green rind.
