Grand Lake Stream, Maine 1970s Carved Wooden Plaque of Unhappy Hiker carved cats and two buffalo

and two buffalo

The cardboard I believe was not too long ago glued to a piece of foam core to stabilize it

Cohen's work is also included in the collections of deCordova Museum and Sculpture Park

I assume due to the fact that it was not imported but rather purchased there

scuffed and smudged

Grand Lake Stream, Maine 1970s Carved Wooden Plaque of Unhappy Hiker carved cats and two buffaloWhat I love most about this funny old carved souvenir plaque are the two tiny figures at lower left waving to the hiker protagonist from a distance; I'm not sure whether they completed the hike hours ago and are waiting on the slow father, or whether they are random bystanders just cheering him on! In any case, I think it's pretty good, and a fun gift for a reluctant outdoors person. Fyi, Grand Lake Stream is in the northeastern most part of Maine,
