Description

Something That Ain't Been Born Yet is a humorous look at men. A plaid equine animal with a single horn and long tongue is presented against a ground that simulates the pattern of the artist's chenille bedspreads. The ideal man that Nellie Mae Rowe never met is the "something that ain't been born yet."
