Lot Description  

1930's Large photograph of an elderly artist from King Features drawing a cartoon character described on the back as "Yellow Kid" but the man is not George Outcault so it is a bit of a mystery. An early piece of comic art history as he was demonstrating how to draw one of his characters for a large audience, this is a fine image fresh from the King Features archive and offered here for the first time ever.
