TO FAMOUS PICTURE
George Soule of Salt Lake Tells Story
About Mishap to 1.-The
Horse Fair"

George SouIe of this city tells an in
tereSIing story about the famous
painting, The Horse Fair" by Rosa
BOnheur, that is known TO very few
Mr.. SOule was formerly a resident of
London, where he was employed by
one OF the large steamship companies.
He had charge of one of the packing
and shipping departments, and the
original painting OF The Horse Fair"
was received for shipment to Sydney,
Australia.
The picture was being packed in a
large case, and one of the workmen.
while packing. allowed his screw
driver to slip, making a ragged jag in
one of the corners.
The artist and the managers of the
exhibits were irritated and after a few
days the painting was shipped to
Paris instead of sydney. Artist Bon
heur carefully remedied the accident,
and today there are few if any who
know it.
