Description

George Herriman archy does his part Interior Illustration Original Art (Doubleday Publ., 1935). "He is not true to me. What shall I do?" A refined Mehitabel and a dapper Archy go for a stroll, but someone seems a bit jealous in this fantastic illustration by George Herriman. It accompanied Archy's poem "archy denies it". Fans of Herriman's Krazy Kat should take note, as this illustration has the same style and charm as Herriman's Coconino County series. Created in ink over graphite on 6.25" x 9.25" Bristol board. Signed in the image area with an "H". There are glue residue stains in the upper corners and in the bottom of the image area also. There are two lines in the image area that are abrasions, created by the artist, to erase ink lines, so that he could reposition them. In Very Good condition.

More Information: EDIT: The illustration was identified as from the 1935 book "archy does his part". Description updated accordingly.
