English: Renoir's The Dancer by Robert Charles Guillemin (also known as Sidewalk Sam) was drawn on a sidewalk in downtown Boston, Massachusetts, in July 1974. Based on other slides from this roll of film, this was taken near the corner of School Street and Washington Street. It may have been in front of the Old South Building at 294 Washington Street.
Kodachrome 35-mm transparency taken with a Yashica TL Electro SLR camera. Scanned with an Epson Perfection V500 Photo in February 2009.
The chalk drawing was published before 1978 in a public place without a copyright notice, public domain. I released my photo, complete with the artistic placement of cigarette butts, to the public domain.
