Reader David from Manhattan has sent in photographs of original Charles Addams art. Details of the image and even of the mounting are included. The somewhat intemperate drawing was published in the New Yorker in 1964. David writes:
The cartoon is 13 W x 14 7/8, and mounted on board which is 15 3/16 W x 19. The reverse, as you can see from one shot, no longer has a New Yorker label (if indeed that's what was there), but there's a faint handstamp, "UNBLOCKED, LEAVE BEARERS ON" at lower left (not visible here), and a 2nd smaller handstamp and notes (see image). The condition is wonderfully fresh....
