Maurice Sendak signed original sketch. An exceptional and rare piece from the author and illustrator of classic children's books, including ''Where the Wild Things Are'' and ''Into The Night Kitchen.'' Superb original pencil drawing executed on a sheet of tracing paper measuring 15'' x 19''. The drawing shows one of Sendak's iconic ''Wild Things'' wearing a ribboned wide-brimmed hat and devilishly peering over a book. Boldly signed beneath, ''Maurice Sendak.'' This drawing was created for an American Express advertising campaign in 1988. According to the volume ''Illustrated Shopping Bags Created by Maurice Sendak'' published by Left Bank Books, drawings such as this one were printed on shopping bags with the tagline: ''Purchase Protection. When monstrous accidents happen, the American Express Card has you covered.'' Not surprisingly, extant original bags are quite scarce. Fine condition.
