This just won't do. An original cartoon by E. Simms Campbell is coming up for auction next week lacking its caption. It could very well be a black and white Esquire cartoon, but there are other possible publications as well. It seems we're at a dress rehearsal for a musical comedy. A leggy actress carrying a food platter is being directed to...?
April 12, 2108 Update: Unsold.
Note: Recognize this cartoon? If you know the original caption or the magazine in which this was published, give a holler. Or a stage direction.
E. Simms Campbell (1906-1971) remains the subject of a mini-retrospective here at Attempted Bloggery. This leading African-American artist was quite prolific, so we'll have to continue just a bit longer. Readers with access to original drawings by this artist are asked to submit high-resolution scans or photographs to the blog for our scholarly consideration and so we can take a look at the women.
