Mexican workers resting; 3 wonderful sombreros interlocking
Inscribed Taxco and dated April, 1939 lower right. Montpelier Catalog #50,no picture. Fleming Museum Exhibition 94 & annotated checklist labels it Taxco Carpet Makers. HB gave it to BB as souvenir of their trip together. Never exhibited, perhaps because it resembles perjorative stereotype of Mexicans asleep. These are working hard in noon sun.
