The third and final lot of original Barbara Shermund color cartoon art from the collection of Angela Gross Folk was published on a full page in Esquire's January 1948 issue. The work was sold on February 22 in Lincoln Park for a hammer price of $700, the high estimate. Amusingly, the auction house misread the caption as "400 mean little men, a senate investigation."
