Description

Harvey Kurtzman Esquire June 1960 Vienna Three Views Illustration Original Art (1960). "From the dome of the imperial Hofburg, looking across Monarchic Vienna toward the heart of the city, we see through a cross-section into the Burg of a century ago. The great Franz Liszt plays for a court audience, while his paramour, the curious Russian princess Sayn-Wittgenstein puffs, as she was wont to do, on a cigar." Master satirist Harvey Kurtzman ponders "how came Vienna's wondrous palaces, state houses and abundant monuments -- how came these fruits of the loving patriarchal monarchy of the Hapsburgs?" His conclusion is -- "cheap labor." This Kurtzman classic has an overall size of 11" x 14", and the art is in Excellent condition. A tearsheet of the printed article is included in this lot.
