Thomas Eastwood: Baggage Cart

Thomas Eastwood's spot drawing of a handcart holding luggage was published in The New Yorker, probably some time from 1930 to 1945. The verso bears production markings typical of the magazine. The original art was sold on eBay in February at the opening bid of $99. It's an appealing image, evocative of days of more leisurely travel.
