Three original works by Barbara Shermund from the Angela Gross Folk collection were sold yesterday at Willow Auction House in Lincoln Park, New Jersey. Each is a full-color, single-panel cartoon. The first of these, depicting a photographer in his studio with a pretty young woman posing for him, is from the weekly syndicated newspaper insert Pictorial Review, which ran a regular series called Shermund's Sallies. The colors remain fresh but, even in 1946, this gag must have seemed pretty old.
