Hey Dudes: Happy Inauguration from Maurice Sendak

Hey, Dudes!
From current eBay listings, here are two examples of illustrator Maurice Sendak's Happy Inauguration print which personally welcomed Bill, Hillary, and Chelsea Clinton to Washington in 1993. Their cat Socks is there too. The First Family is shown with the Capitol Building. They are joined by characters from Where the Wild Things Are, In the Night Kitchen, Really Rosie, and We Are All in the Dumps with Jack and Guy.
