Description

This is a quite famous piece: it's one of the very few existing dedications produced by McCay, who was known to be rather shy and reluctant to grant this kind of drawings. It is surely the most beautiful I've ever seen and it has been published and exposed several times.

Inscriptions

Signed bottom right both WINSOR MCCAY and SILAS.
