Inspiration
Prince is a wooden terrier in the Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Folk Art Museum. The original was carved by Irwin Weil of Coopersburg, Pennsylvania, in the 1930s in memory of a family pet. Weil's sons recall when their father placed the wooden Prince on the porch, traveling salesmen gave the Weil household a wide berth.
