More information (an aside)
When Siamese Prince was framed, the original signature and date were hidden under the mat. Before matting and framing, Bothwell signed again (in red), so that a signature would be visible.On the back of the framed Siamese Prince by Dorr Bothwell: instructions to artists (left), and exhibit identification label (right).
The label on the left is a gallery notice telling artists where and when to pick up unsold work after the show. Unsold sculpture would be available for pickup at Ralph Stackpole’s Stoneyard, behind the Montgomery Block where Dorr Bothwell lived for a time in the 1920s, and again in the 1940s. All other unsold art was to be picked up at the gallery at 800 Montgomery Street (the right hand corner space), in the granite and red brick building shown below).
