1920's Unique photograph of famous cartoonist Otto Messmer as he appeared hard at work creating his latest "Felix the Cat" comic strip. Images of cartoonists with their creations are so rare and this one only exists because it came from the archive of the newspaper which employed Messmer, King Features! Condition and quality are both outstanding and this is being offered here for the first time ever! The photo has a few light pinholes but otherwise it presents well.
