Dr. Seuss Original Art
"WINNERS WILL BE NOTIFIED AFTER THE AUCTION ENDS BY THE AUCTIONEER ONCE ALL BIDS HAVE BEEN PROCESSED TO DETERMINE THE WINNER FOR EACH LOT."
Dr. Seuss drawing of his famous ''Cat in the Hat'' from the 1957 book of the same name. The children's book author adds his original art to a 1971 abstract drawing of a woman done by Diddo Clark, a local teacher. Dr. Seuss also adds a thought bubble for the Cat that reads, ''I don't know whether the kids did. But I had FUN! Thanks to Diddo.'' Clark corresponded with Seuss throughout the 1970's and 1980's. The envelope in which the drawing was mailed to Clark accompanies the drawing. The 5'' x 11.5'' envelope, postmarked 18 November 1971 from Theodor Geisel's home address, is mounted to a 20'' x 6.5'' mat. Very good condition. The 7'' x 16.75'' drawing is matted to an overall size of 9.25'' x 20''. Drawing has been folded for mailing, else fine.
