While on a photo search for something else, I came upon the original of a much-reproduced early illustration of a female Sasquatch (Pre-Patty):
It is a Mort Kunstler illustration of the Roe encounter as illustrated for TRUE Magazine in the later 1950s.
And yes, there are other versions of the artwork but this is the full, original 2-page-spread painting. At least one other simpler versiion in a plain gray wash has also surfaced since the publication of Ivan Sanderson's Abominable Snowmen in 1961: Sanderson's book cropped out just the Sasquatch from this version of the illustration.
