Yesterday, six rough drawings by cartoonist William Hamilton were sold at auction by Jeffrey S. Evans & Associates. One of them is framed. All have significant toning or paper loss. They are all property from the estate of Regina McKeever Syrjala of Middleburg, VA, who died in 2019 at the age of 100. It seems likely that each of these was submitted to The New Yorker at some point. I do not know if any of these ideas eventually saw print in some form.
Estimated at $150-$250 for the lot, the bidding started at $70. Two weeks before the auction, no bids had yet been placed.

Sold!
Note: It's always possible that some of these roughs by William Hamilton were eventually published in finished form, either in The New Yorker or elsewhere. Readers who recognize these as published pieces are asked to contact me. I would also like to hear from collectors who own original art by Hamilton.
