Yes. You will find other examples (2 photoetching pieces) in the color
section following p.52. KW consulted with me regarding photoetching
prior to publication. You will find me also in his acknowledgments.

That's not Scotty, but a fashion model. It was Scotty's original
transparency; a collaboration.

Scotty, btw, was a photographer (and I think ambulance driver) in the
Flying Tigers in WWII. He became a fashion photographer in NYC, I think
he was the originator of the "Jergens Hands" image. I believe he is now
showing in Europe similar to the ones I used to help him with: He and I
collaborated some when I worked in the color lab in a large Seattle
studio where he was the fashion illustrator in 1970, and later, when I
began doing silkscreen and photoetching, we continued to work together.
A colorful and incredibly entertaining gentleman. I believe that a web
search will reveal some references to him, and maybe some of the European
list contributors may know something about him. I do have pictures of
Scotty, too, but that ain't one!
