William Steig: Nine Caricatures

A sheet of drawings, called Nine Caricatures by the auction house Bonhams, was given by the artist William Steig to educator Morton Schindel, the founder of Weston Woods Studios. Schindel produced the 1993 animated film version of Steig's Caldecott Medal-winning children's book Sylvester and the Magic Pebble (1969). The drawing, offered at auction with other Steig items from the Schindel estate, failed to find a buyer in 2017.

Note:  Readers with access to original art by William Steig are asked to send me a scan or two of such art, along with information about its history, so that all may be shared with other readers of Attempted Bloggery.
