Signed Book Illustration.
Renowned and prolific caricaturist whose inimitable style captured hundreds of actors in the pages of the "New York Times" from 1929 until his death. Item #19421
PS, 1p, 4½" X 7½", n.p., n.d. [ca. late 1980s]. Near fine. Full-page illustration (verso of text page 51) from John Mason Brown's "Insides Out: Being the Saga of a Drama Critic Who Attended His Own Opening" (the London: Herbert Jenkins Limited edition, ca. 1942), an operating room scene in which the patient looks backward up at the angled mirror on the wall and proclaims, "Great God! Look at me up there on the wall!" Signed nicely by the artist (simply "Hirschfeld," as usual) at lower right in his usual black fineline.
