So, apparently the graffiti in Prague of the old woman and the ostrich that I photographed on my trip there in 1996, was around as early as 1994. Someone on Flickr linked a picture they took in 1994. Google doesn't turn up much, except someone else's picture of the scene, with a ? next to it. The old woman is from an Albrecht Durer image of his mother; nobody has any idea why the artist put the bird (it just doesn't quite look like an ostrich, but it's not an emu or a rhea either) next to her. The art looks like a charcoal drawing, but of course that wouldn't have lasted two years on a concrete wall.
