Helen E. Hokinson's collection of New Yorker cartoons, When Were You Built?, was published in October of 1948. It was popular enough to go into a second printing that November. Etsy currently offers a copy signed by the artist on this second printing's title page. She wrote an additional gift inscription to Jack from Faith for Christmas of 1948 signed with her initials HEH. This book is offered for $186 with gift wrap and shipping included.
