Magnetic Patches

 

1969? Magnetic patch with Jacob Lawrence's "The Council of the Mice."  3" x 3.75".  Unknown source.

Here may be a first: As I tried to research this item online, what I found immediately was our own Archives' reference to it on the web.  "A rectangular magnet with a black and white image printed on it. The image printed depicts a group of mice enthusiastically talking to one another. Under the image depicted there are words that read: "Jacob Lawrence 'The Council of Mice,' 1969."  I would add a comment or two.  Notice the older mouse with an umbrella in the lower left.  He is the one who will "call the question," a question that  will find no one volunteering.  I suspected that this was an Etsy product, but extensive searching has not come up with a clue, there or elsewhere.
