Karl Kae Knecht Cartoon
| Description: |
Cartoon supporting the proposal to move the Evansville Museum to a new location. Top: Drawing of the proposed building. Bottom: A huge man labeled Evansville stands in the current museum building; the roof has been opened like a dollhouses. The current location is made up of several old buildings joined together. The Y.W.C.A. yard is next to the museum, and a text box says that the land will revert to the Y.W. if the building is torn down. The busy street in front of the museum is full of cars. Image Access WideTEK 25 Proposed new museum in Sunset Park four blocks from Main Street. Ohio River. Nows our chance everyone give something to the fund. The Y.W.C.A. yard adjoins this and when present building is torn down all this reverts to the Y.W. I never figured how it was put down here in our factory area. Statue of Vulcan. Evansville. You can imagine how quiet here on one way Second Street. Entrance. Rotary Honor Plaque. Evansville Public Museum. As I raise these roofs--just take a look at the jumble-tumble mess. They have in the cut-up lack of space in these three or four old ramshackle crumbling buildings! No the stone (imitation) building corner is not a part of museum. Its the famous spot. N.W. 2nd. Court. [in margins: If Any Place Needs a Move This Is It! Evansville Courier--5-28-1954.] |
