Raphael Tuck & Sons used Fred Buchanan’s cartoon art on postcards for a quarter-century but few of his cards, if any were sold in America. Was his humor purely British? A mystery to be solved. Who knows the answer?

William and Frances Haussner, immigrants to America, opened their restaurant in 1926 and soon began collecting art to display in their east Baltimore restaurant. Throughout the better parts of eight decades thousands of hungry art lovers came to dine and gaze at a masterpiece.
