In 1937, an exhibition of Seuss sculptures was held in New York while he promoted his book, And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street. The following year, a magazine advertisement announced, "Dr. Seuss Returns From the Bobo Isles ... with Rare and Amazing Trophies for the Walls of your Game-Room, Nursery or Bar!" The Mulberry Street Unicorn was one of "trophies" of his safari. A little chipped and cracked, this one was given to his friend, fellow artist and Disney animator Phil Dike. It has remained in the family until now.
