This is a print by Joseph L. Teeters called The Miner’s Donkey. My father got it from our neighbor in 1977, who apparently got it directly from the artist in exchange for some books. Teeters was apparently then on the faculty of University of Wisconsin Eau Claire, and authored a book, Creating Tesselations.
Staffan and I went looking for any reference to this print on the internet, and we found none. So, this is perhaps the interwebs debut of this particular work. If anyone has more details about the artist, please pass them along.

The artist is my neighbor. I am having dinner with him tonight. He gave me a signed print and has done one of cyclists. He is quite talented in writing also.

Susan, how is he doing? I moved and have not caught up with him for some time now. Please let him know I think of him often.

I (J L T) am alive and well and remember the effort involved in creating
the “Donkey”. Living in Laurel, Maryland.

I just purchased 3 prints from an auction. I would love any info about them. One is the Miner’s Donkey. The other is turtles and a football player!
