More Bloggery
Stephen Nadler over at Attempted Bloggery continues providing a look into New Yorker cartoon auction art and ephemera. Today it’s sheet music from Murray Anderson’s 1929 Almanac (and an Arno Camel ad in the show’s Playbill). Scroll on down the post and you’ll see an auctioned Eldon Dedini original and an incredible horde of originals for a 1937 Macy’s ad campaign by Gregory d’Allesio. Fascinating stuff all. See it here.
