| William Steig AbeBooks item description |
Note: William Steig's woodcarvings are new to me. In 1939, Time magazine wrote about an exhibition of these pieces here. His Proud Woman from 1941 is in the collection of the Rhode Island School of Design Museum here. An example appears on Artsy here. There is another on Reddit here. Now, does anyone have a photograph of the one Nelson Rockefeller kept on his desk?

Of a group of three original word-based illustrations by cartoonist Mischa Richter, at least two of them refer to political events of the mid-1970s. The energy crisis was an issue throughout the 1970s, but the Arab oil embargo specifically took place from October 1973 to March 1974. Depicting the words energy crisis as a question mark might place the illustration in that uncertain time after the oil embargo ended. Nelson Rockefeller served as Gerald Ford's Vice President from December 1974 to January 1977. The "Now Playing" theater marquee would most likely date this trio of illustrations to the earlier part of Rockefeller's Vice Presidency. But why give the VP top billing? The stork with the letter O could serve as the opening letter to some text, or it could represent something else entirely.
