Matted and Ready to Frame with a Letter of Authenticity from Tom McKimson

Robert McKimson Sr. is a legend in cartoons. As stated in the letter of authenticity from his son, he worked at Warner Brothers from 1931 to 1969 and directed 175 cartoons! He created the Tazmanian Devil, Foghorn Leghorn, Speedy Gonzalez and Sylvester Jr. to name a few of his characters!

This was an illustration he made for a book he planned to make with his mother, Mildred and his brother, Tom. The book was called "Mouse Tales." Measures 8.5" x 11". Lightly yellowed with age and wrinkling on edges (see images). Sheet is clued to a second sheet at the top corners.

We will mount this gorgeous piece of art in an acid-free, 4-ply paper mat that measures 11" x 14" - so you can just buy your own frame and hang it in your home gallery.  We only use archival/acid-free materials in mounting your artwork.  NOTE: in most cases we have not yet mounted the art in a mat, so if you wish to have us leave it unmounted let us know IMMEDIATELY when you make the purchase, as we will often mat it within minutes.
