Winsor McCay - Original Comic Strip Art for Dre
Winsor McCay - Original Comic Strip Art for Dream of the Rarebit Fiend Sunday dated 1906 (New York Herald, 1906). Who would have thought that a little Welsh rarebit before bed could have such disastrous results? McCay was a master of the fantastic, ushering his readers into the bizarre world of dreams in which small events often blossomed into full-fledged cataclysms, as in this explosive strip. A gifted draftsman and a true visionary, McCay's work is still as vibrant and vital today as it was upon its initial publication. The piece offered here, with an approximate image area of 24.75" x 15.75", is in excellent condition, with only the slightest evidence of soiling to attest to its age. Signed "Silas" in the last panel (McCay's favorite nom du plume), this is an exceptional piece from one of America's greatest creative geniuses. 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. Since eBay bids are not shown to us until we open the lot on the floor, we treat those bids just like floor bids. In most cases the floor responds before the eBay bid is presented to us, due to Internet lag time, so for consistency we have made it a policy that floor bids are always considered first over tie eBay live bids. 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.
