Thanks to an unusual dual ownership of the full copyright, each man produced his own series of newspaper stories in late 1904. The McClure Syndicate ran Denslow's series, <I>The Scarecrow and the Tin-Man,</B></I> and the series ran for fourteen weeks. Although the detail was cropped out of this drawing, the boat in this scene was named the “Sea Horse,” a reference to Denslow's monogrammatic signature. <B>Condition Report:</B> This drawing is a cropped detail of the printed image<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Flat Material, Small (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
