Peter the Hermit, Memorialized in Bookends
From Jean Hawkins come pictures of these wonderful bronze bookends of Peter the Hermit with his greyhound. Found in a thrift store, the bookends were produced by Novel-Arts of Hollywood and copyrighted 1927. Inscribed "Peter the Picturesque, Beloved Hermit of Hollywood," they are touching proof of Peter's fame in Hollywood during the 1920's and 30's.
What a great piece of local history! Thank you for sharing them, Jean.
