The Giraffe
I had got the impression the the Giraffe existed only for a brief period in 1894, was a failure, and since then has only existed in the form of the two repro builds mentioned here.
But it seems there was at least one person determined to get his money's worth out of a Giraffe.
I wonder how many times he toppled off it in 47 years?
Presumably this drawing was made about 1941, which seems quite possible since Patterson was
still working at that time.
I've borrowed this picture from Fellowship News where I came across it quite by chance.
