Willard D. Ardfard, proprietor of Willards Taxidermy, Pawn Shop and Tofu Biscuit Emporium of Snake Branch AR, bought a lime green and orange polka-dotted trunk from an itinerant roofer Tuesday. When Ardfard explored the trunks contents he discovered these two prints and immediately recognized Bowles. “I tried to keep it quiet, but my wife Grenelda went and told her mamma and that let the cat out of the bag,” Ardfard said.
“The danged museums have been camped outside my door since Wednesday morning, and I finally to take my phone off the hook.” Curators nationwide are clamoring to get their hands on the rare images. Bowles has declined commenting on this development.
Through a special arrangement, we have been allowed to show these photos. We are grateful for this unusual opportunity.
