Robert Crumb - Original Sketches, Lenore Ulric and Desert Cactus (circa 1960)
Robert Crumb - Original Sketches, Lenore Ulric and Desert Cactus (circa 1960). This page has a beautiful Robert Crumb sketch of the silent era actress and Broadway star Lenore Ulric. He has also included a drawing of the film actress Faire Binney, an early "Fritz" type cat wearing a three-piece suit and a Mexican hat, plus a few other amusing characters. The reverse side of the sheet has a desolate desert scene with an odd cactus in the distinctive geometric style of Robert's younger brother Maxon Crumb -- perhaps Robert allowed Maxon to assist on this image, or this drawing may have provided some inspiration for Maxon's future artistic direction. Whatever the case, this great page measures 8.5" x 6.5" and is in nice condition. 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.
