I am trying to find pictures of what I thought was a hall of dinosaurs during 1943-47 and the totem poles. During the “war” my mother and I would go to the red brick building to visit my grandfather, T.W. Vaughan (former director of Scripps and a marine paleontologist), in his office. We would walk past the dinosaurs and a totem pole on our way to visiting him. At present I am in a Children’s Book Illustration class at RISD and am trying to illustrate a children’s story with this as a focus but would like to as accurate as possible with certain details even if it is from a 4-5 year old’s perspective and fantasy(I felt a particular ownership to the Triceratops and the T.rex.) If you can help me I’d greatly appreciate it. Thank you,Dorothy Carlsten
