Peter Fonda Hand-Drawn Picture, Age 8, 1948
<B>Peter Fonda Hand-Drawn Picture, Age 8, 1948.</B></I> Most of the sketches Peter Fonda drew for his father were war combat scenes. This one departed from the usual motif. This picture drawn by eight-year-old Peter on a piece of 5"x 8" paper shows a bright sun, what appears to be a steam shovel, and -- prophetically from the future star of <I>Easy Rider</B></I> -- what indeed resembles a motorcycle, leaving a big trail of smoke, making a sound (the word "Weeeeee" emanates from it), and driven by a man wearing a hat. There appears to be musical notes rising above the vehicle (Peter was taking music lessons at the time) and there's a dark cloud with the words "Boom" and "Bam" surrounding it. Dated January 24, 1948, only weeks before Henry Fonda triumphed on Broadway as <I>Mr. Roberts.</B></I> In Excellent condition.{br}{br}{a href=”/common/images/media/PeterFondaLot22248-22252_320.wmv”}<B>See and hear Peter Fonda discussing this item!</B></I>{/a}{br}{br}<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Flat Material, Small (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
