This may be a shot in the dark but I know a lot of members of this
newsgroup are passionate about collecting quotations so I thought I would
give it a try.

I have been looking in vain for a few years for a poster/print entitled "A
1,000 words is worth a Picture". Essentially, it is a poster with a
collection of insightful and inspirational aphorisms from the ages. The
poster was created by an artist/graphic designer named Kenneth A. Grooms
(sp?) and published/distributed around 1980 by a company called "Art 101"
located in Atlanta. I believe that Art 101 is out of business. I have
also tried poster chainstores (Deck the Walls and Prints Plus) but to no
avail.

Does anyone have or know of this poster? Does anyone know of any source
that would help me determine if this poster is still available to order
(i.e., not out of print) or where to find?

Thanks, in advance, for any assistance and your cooperation.

There are 31 Kenneth Grooms in the four11.com phone directory, none in
Georgia and none with middle initials listed ... too many for me to try

There is one Kenneth Groome listed locally in the metropolitan Atlanta
area ... I left him a phone message asking if he was a graphic artist
... if I hear back I will let you know

On the Kenneth Groome listed in the Atlanta metro phone book:
He and his wife have gotten several calls in the past few
years trying to locate a Kenneth Groome who was an artist and
who died in the 1980's.

They did suggest that they occasionally see quotations from
a ``Ken Grooms'' ... so your spelling may be correct and this
person mayn be different than the deceased artist.

Art 101 is no longer listed locally in any Atlanta phone book.

Sorry I am no more help.

Would you be interested in selling it, if you still have it? Or having a copy made? I have been looking for this forever too,

Thank you,

I just ran across your post. Did you sell your print? If not would you be interested in selling it? My dad had this in his office when I was a kid in the 70s. I would like one for my office now.
Thank you -
