Charlotte's Web Drawings
“Winners will be notified after the auction ends and once all bids have been processed to determine the winner for each lot”
Garth Williams preliminary drawings of ''illustration #11'', appearing on page 31 of E.B. White's ''Charlotte's Web.'' Pencil drawings depict the novel's central figure, a cheerful pig named ''Wilbur.'' White was initially displeased with this rendering of Wilbur, suggesting that the pig's right hoof could be confused for its snout. The hoof was thus removed before publication. Three sheets, measuring 11'' x 8.5'' each, feature seven sketches in total. Each is initialed by Williams. Fine.
