DESCRIPTION
Winsor McCay pencils and inks; 1907 Sunday page; image size 14" x 19"A woman is roused by a burglar in a Welsh Rarebit inspired dream by the legendary McCay (signing as Silas for contractual reasons), creator of "Little Nemo in Slumberland." Exceptional pacing and choreography from McCay, the subtlety of the burglar's shrinking is wonderful, with a classic final panel. Pen and ink. Art is in very good condition, there is discoloration from age, along with a couple of pin holes, minor creasing, and glue stains around the header and copyright paste-ups. Signed 'Silas' by McCay.
