Last week's Fine Books and Manuscripts auction at Sotheby's included two preliminary book illustrations by Dr. Seuss for his 1961 classic story "The Sneetches." The signed drawings are close to two of the final published illustrations from The Sneetches and Other Stories, although they may possibly be trimmed; the images extend outward in the final book pages. It's rare to find such preliminary art on the market.

Note: I'd be only too happy to post other preliminary book illustrations by Dr. Seuss, a.k.a. Theodore Seuss Geisel, but I don't have any on file. Those lucky enough to have access to original Seuss roughs are encouraged to submit scans or photos.
