Hallowed Haunts: The Drawings and Watercolors of Charles Addams

A single folded leaf served to promote and to catalogue the exhibition "Hallowed Haunts: The Drawings and Watercolors of Charles Addams." Addams's original works were exhibited in New York at the National Academy of Design from November 3, 1991 to January 12, 1992—the closing date was later extended. In the more than a quarter century since the show, no one else has posted this leaflet on the internet, a glaring oversight to be sure. So I thought I'd take the liberty...

That last column was cut off slightly. (Some people shouldn't be trusted with a scanner.) Here it is in full:

Note:  The fact that I'm not especially gifted with a scanner is no reason you shouldn't try one. Send your scans of original Charles Addams art, correspondence, rarities, and assorted bric-a-brac to Attempted Bloggery for possible use in a future post.
