----------------------------Original message---------------------------- I have been waiting for years to get this reference question. Here is the text from a _Wireless_ mail-order catalog, dated sometime within the last year. (I have the page, but not the whole catalog.) The company's telephone number is 1-800-669-9999. "Dogs Playing Poker Wall Art. In 1873, American artist C.M. Coolidge started painting pictures of dogs playing poker. Hundreds of thousands of his canine creations were printed as advertising posters, calendars, and prints, and Coolidge became a great success. Now you can own one of these American classics. This "Wireless" exclusive is laminated on wood, measures 18"h x 23 1/2"l, and comes ready to hang. Rush Delivery, Overnight Delivery, and gift box not available. #44106, $29.50." If the price seems stiff, I have also seen neckties in either this catalog or another. A local framing / poster shop may have catalogs for unframed reproductions to order.
