Description:
Charles Schulz Peanuts Treasury Dedication Page Snoopy Illustration Original Art (Holt, Rinehart, and Winston, 1968). Offered here is a splendid original Snoopy book illustration signed by Charles Schulz, drawn in the early sixties when Linus proudly wore brand new eyeglass prescribed by his ophthalmologist -- and which Snoopy frequently absconded with. Putting ten-dollar words in kids' mouths was Schulz's stock-in-trade and he was vexed by the stream of complaints he began receiving from optometrists. "It's hard to explain that ophthalmology is a funny word," Schulz said, "and optometry is not." This delightful drawing was used as spot art on the dedication page of the hardback, Peanuts Treasury. This piece has an overall size of 5.75" x 8". This drawing has been mounted to cardboard, and there are paper pulls around the outer edges (outside the image area) where an overmat had been glued; otherwise, the art is in Excellent condition.

Schulz, Charles:Schulz, Charles is the creator of Peanuts, an renowned American comic strip. He served in the army during World War II, later becoming an art school instructor and then a free-lance cartoonist for the St. Paul Pioneer Press and the Saturday Evening Post. In 1950, he sold the Peanuts strip to United Features, and it became the most widely-read comic in history, appearing worldwide in over 2,000 newspapers.. American cartoonist, illustrator, and author, 1922-2000
