DR-A058 Royal Garden Swimming Hole 1955

Gainsboro; Royal Garden; David Ramey.

Drawing of a river passing through a forested area on the left and a wooden building on the right. There are people swimming in the water and standing alongside the bank. Clothes are hung in trees and left on the ground. There is a bike on the bottom right side. On the right is a wooden building with a high fenced in area in front of it. The side of the building reads "Pepsi Coke". Figures can be seen inside of the building. Inside of the fenced in area is presumably a pool, as there is a figure diving off of a diving board. An airplane is flying on the top left side. Signed by artist and dated 1995. Beneath the signature is "Royal Garden Swimming Hole 1955".
