New Yorker cartoonist
William Hamilton, chronicler of foibles of the rich and preppy, died on Friday in a car accident. He had been contributing to the
New Yorker since 1965. In 2004, he illustrated a limited edition of Molière's
Tartuffe, translated by Richard Wilbur. The edition of 300 books is described by a bookseller as quite fragile, but of course it isn't quite as fragile as we are.

Note: My previous posts on
William Hamilton are surprisingly varied, including original advertising art, a sketchbook page, syndicated cartoon art, and a signed book. I consider this small archive an incomplete tribute to this artist and his remarkable versatility.
