    The strange thing I notice is there is another John Knowles Hare print called "Pals" with a little girl holding two black scottie terriers. The title and signature look identical.

    Such a cute print ! I am not sure it is Shirley Temple but she does resemble her and many mothers made their little girls up to look like her during the 40's and 50's . Love it !

    It is advertised elsewhere as being Shirley Temple but I also see this in black & white pencil sketch engraving. Looks like this artists drawings were copied alot. Seems there are several different ones titled "Pals".

    This person thinks it might be Shirley but I have my doubts since anything with her photo or likeness was under contract and with her approval . I think he just painted cute children :-)

    Thanks Manikin,
    I saw it online as Shirley Temple print! I am excited to explore the link that Manikin has shared! Keep me posted Please if anyone figures it out...

    He did do art covers for the Post magazine . But again he would have to say Shirley Temple if it was meant to be her. A fun hunt for answer to this one . I can say it has a C on it for copywrite so it is not an original but more of a mass produced piece . His originals do not have C and are hand signed :-)

    If you check "Authentic" Shirley Temple prints by John Knowles Hare, the only one that appears is the same as your "Pals" but is a pencil etching - no colors. I would think yours is a "copy" of a John Knowles Hare print with color added.

    I am still wondering if she is not a Shirley look a like girl . Her likeness is similair to maybe circumvent all her legal protection to anything to do with her and her trademark rights were tough and still are .

    In movie Rebecca of Sunny Brook Farms she dressed in coveralls like the print .

    I can't find any place other than a random source to verify he named this as Shirley Temple just online auctions saying it is her ? or a girl that looks like her much like the face of the little boy he did with a dog named "Sympathy "
