Dr. Seuss: Green Eggs...

The following images of drawings have been collected by me over the years from various online sources, all of which claim to show original artwork by Dr. Seuss (Ted Geisel).

The published illustration bears an obviously close resemblance to the drawing above from eBay.



November 11, 2012 Update:  Steve Stoliar, author of Raised Eyebrows:  My Years Inside Groucho's House, has kindly allowed me to include these three personally-inscribed drawings from his collection:

Dr. Seuss, in The Seven Lady Godivas, 1987 edition first printing inscribed on FFEP "With Best Wishes and a Green Egg to Steve Stoliar! --Dr. Seuss"

Dr. Seuss, in Oh, the Places You'll Go!, 1990 first printing inscribed on FFEP "Herewith:  One Extra-Special Green Egg, fried with great care for Steve Stoliar by Dr. Seuss"

Dr. Seuss, Dr. Seuss from Then to Now, 1987 first printing inscribed on FFEP "One order of you-know-what for Steve Stoliar with very Best Wishes from Dr. Seuss"
