I remember seeing the Face on the Barroom Floor in Central City, CO, as a ten year old, back in 1940. At that time, I knew nothing about a poem or song, there was just a written story about a down-on-his-luck miner who painted it in exchange for drinks. It was a very nicely done painting as I remember and certainly not drawn with chalk. It would be interesting to know more about the history of this painting and whether or not it was prompted by the poem, or had an entirely independent origin. Thanks to all of you who researched this thread. It's fascinating. Bryce
