History in Pen & Ink: A Century of Cartoons & Illustrations
Sale #15242
Many collectors have been drawn to the restrained style and cultural significance of pen & ink editorial cartoons and illustrations, but few have cultivated a grouping as representative and intriguing as the single-owner collection seen in History In Pen & Ink. Long before the internet, television and in some cases, even radio, every morning millions of people reached for their preferred publication with their cup of tea to be informed on important matters of the day. Magazines like Puck, newspapers such as the Los Angeles Herald, Boston Globe, and syndicates like Hearst were essential features of day-to-day life. Though some of these artworks are not in keeping with contemporary values, they are representational of their time and place and stand as part of our culture and past. This auction includes famed artists such as Thomas Nast, Nell Brinkley, Orson Byron Lowell, William H. "Bill" Mauldin, Rose Cecil O'Neill, Harrison Fisher, John Held Jr., Louis Glackens, Clarence Daniel Batchelor, and many more.
