Wonderful! Thanks for your personal insights. I don’t know about the value of Zalliinger’s early work, but I’m certain there would be interest in some quarters.

My father and Rudy were high school friends, growing up in Seattle together. Our family has 3 of his works. He painted a landscape of Mt. Shuksan (Washington state) which he gave as a wedding present to my parents in 1943. I have a portrait of my father that Rudy drew in charcoal, and according to the story told to me, it was his entry to be considered for a scholarship. Finally, I have a pen and ink drawing dated 1940 which shows a person walking in an eerie setting. This could be a forerunner of his early man works. I have often wondered if there is interest in his early works.

LOVED the Golden book… I memorized that thing and loved it beyond belief after getting it for my 6th birthday. What a treat to see it here… where is my copy????? Must find!

Mr Zallinger was one of my teachers at the Paier School of Art in the mid ’70’s. He was a generous and insightful instructor and visiting the Peabody Museum was always a thrill. It is located (or was) in New Haven, CT.

Hey! This image was a cenetrfold in my “Enciclopedia Estudiantil” here in Argentina in the sixties and made my imagination to fly.
Your information enriches my childhood. Thank you.

Wow, this stirs memories! I think I may have had a pull-out poster from a magazine of this image when I was a kid. Hmm.
