Description:
Title: Friendship Valley
Author: Wolo -
Born of noble birth on July 24, 1902, in Berlin, Germany, Baron Wolff Erhardt Anton George Trutzschler von Falkenstein became known as Wolo, due to his younger sister's difficulty pronouncing his name. He was educated in Switzerland at an agricultural college. From there, he came to the U.S. in 1922 as an exchange student at the University of Wisconsin. In 1927 he moved to Los Angeles and, as a self-taught artist, established a studio on Olvera Street. (One of his customers there was ventriloquist Edgar Bergen, who paid him five dollars to draw a stupid-looking hayseed. This drawing became dummy Mortimer Snerd.) Wolo then moved to San Francisco, where he worked for many years as a caricaturist-columnist for the Chronicle. He wrote and illustrated five children's books, painted murals in the San Francisco Bay area, and was well known as a puppeteer. Wolo passed away on May 8, 1989, in San Francisco.
