Little Red Riding Hood 1955 (colour litho)

Little Red Riding Hood 1955. A 2-year-old girl, Ida Mae Curtis, who was with her mother at a campsite in Libby (Montana, USA), was kidnapped by a bear who then moved away to the forest holding it between her front legs. Rescue teams were organized. After 21 hours of searching, the little girl was found in a hole, alone. They brought her back to her mother who was now desperate for her salvation. The sanitary workers who visited the child found that she had only a few scratches, unintentionally caused by the beast that had behaved with extreme delicacy.
