Vintage collector's brochure included. As pictured. SANDY the orange peeler was a real person. He was a permanent fixture in the 1960s and 1970s selling oranges from his unique nook on the wall of Calle Luna in Old San Juan, Puerto Rico. Passers by like me remember this endearing, resilient, and inspiring figure of Puerto Rican folklore. A friend of Cajiga's from the Gold Gym, I obtained this work in 1980 directly from the artist at the original Cajiga Studio across from the piers in Old San Juan. He had long sold out of his numbered pieces and only had his original Artist Proof left, exhibited in his atelier as not for sale. I begged and pulled the friend card, and Cajiga, always generous, let me acquire it with a painful frown and an entrusting smile. I have enjoyed it for 40+ years, and it's time to pass it on and put it out there in the world. I hope it goes to a good home, collector, or museum. Thanks. ***Shipping charge is only to the lower 48 U.S. states*** ***Shipping to Puerto Rico requires additional shipping quote***
