The romance of a shipboard cruise is decidedly not the subject of this cartoon by George Price. Swann Galleries, which sold the original artwork in 2009, did not recognize that it had been published by the New Yorker in 1962. Nevertheless, it sold on its own merits for $1020 with the buyer's premium.
