Tortoise and Hare Towel
Dublin Core
Title
Tortoise and Hare Towel
Description
1990? Irish linen hand towel featuring the hare riding the tortoise across the finish line. 19" x 30". "Irish Linen, Made in Ireland" says one sticker, and another marking notes "Pure Irish Linen." Another marking reads "Dunmoy, Reg." $5.99 from Dawn Friesen, Coaldale, Alberta, Canada, through Ebay, Sept., '00.
In this whimsical version, the hare has become a jockey and is riding the tortoise instead of racing him. My, the things I never knew existed! Click on the image to see a larger version.
