After watching the 1942 revival of Hedda Gabler, starring Katina Paxinou, Helen Morley, and Ralph Forbes, James Montgomery Flagg created this watercolor gag sketch, which gently roasts his friend Cecil Humphreys for his acting in the role of Judge Black.  The 1892 Henrik Ibsen play is a deeply psychological look at the life of a […]

James Montgomery Flagg’s watercolor sketches were an endless source of amusement and cheer to his friends and colleagues.  Here, the artist works to cheer up his friend Cecil Humpheys after the poor reviews of the 1942 revival of J.M. Barrie’s play A Kiss for Cinderella in which he starred alongside Louise Rainer. Flagg depicts laughably […]

This is an intriguing topical French magazine illustration depicting a decadent French woman enjoying five different forms of illumination as she goes through various stages of undress. Providing commentary on the onset of modernity in fin-de-siècle France through the metaphor illustrated mistress of the house who is seen with a broadening smile and increasingly confident demeanor as she lives with the at the time shockingly new conveniences, this is a bold and striking illustration by the controversial French cartoonist Gil Baer.

A topical newspaper illustration (presumably for the Hearst Newspapers) confronting the dilemma of Eugenics. In the 1910’s-1920’s the United States was faced with the question of whether individuals should marry with a mind towards creating superior babies through genetic family planning. This cartoon finds this notion farfetched and we see love conquering science to the shock and delight of a couple now free to live as their hearts command. A very sophisticated topical take on a pre-eminent question of the early 20th century. This is a fantastically rendered en grisaille style pen and ink drawing with highlights. En grisaille was a popular style in the early 20th century for illustrations created for reprinting. In a stylish contemporary fine gilded wood frame.
