Great shot. When in art school years ago, one of my classmates told me father or grandfather did the girl this way as a joke and pinned it in the hallway. She was made to look pregnant. They were having a hard time coming up with something Morton approved of. He visited. saw the girl and picked it!

Love this and can't wait to hang it on my wall. I grew up very close to the Morton salt plant in Mentor. I remember going there with my dad in the winter with a huge bucket to fetch rock salt from the giant mountains they kept outside.

Thank you, Matt! I am so very happy you let me know the significance of this photograph. I have been to Mentor Headlands Dunes State Nature Preserve many times and have seen the Morton Salt Plant .. I believe the company has donated many acres of land in that area for wildlife preservation. The area has one of the largest natural marshes remaining on Lake Erie; so important for fish and bird migration and much of the land donated by Morton Salt Company. I always think it is amazing that Lake Erie has so many salt mines ... was a salty sea so many many years ago ... Again, thank you for your purchase and sharing your story with me. patricia
