Robert Crumb - Original Sketches, Laura Hope Crews (1962)
Robert Crumb - Original Sketches, Laura Hope Crews (1962). On one side of this sketchbook page is a lovely rendering of Laura Hope Crews, an actress on the stage and screen from the early part of the 1900s. The other side of this page has Robert Crumb's transcription of a page from the diary of his sister Sandra, with whom young Robert had a tumultuous relationship. The diary entry is dated January 1, 1962, and the transcription is thoughtfully titled "Sandra's Diary With Notes by R. Crumb," and Crumb does indeed include one annotated note at the bottom of the sheet. A personal and almost disturbingly voyeuristic page detailing the everyday melodrama of a young girl's adolescence, carefully transcribed in the characteristic lettering of a young (and evidently impudent) Robert Crumb. The page measures 6.5" x 8.5" and is in very good condition with light yellowing at the extreme edges. Important notice: Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 200-250 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 20% Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid.
