'Pepi' otherwise Josef Gánsl born Vienna 1881 pictured in 1927. I always thought this sketch was done by my father, his son, but I see that it is signed what looks like H Kleiss .. Kleist ..
His grandson, Kurt Gänzl (yes, I know, he changed, father changed it, then I changed it theoretically BACK) pictured here attracted the pen and ink of caricaturist Allister Hardiman while somewhere in his nebulous sixties ...
My hair lasted longer than that of the grandfather whom I never met ... the grandfather whose premature death caused my father's emigration to New Zealand ...
Me voilà ...
