Description

Each 16" x 22". A collection of 21 large funny pages featuring the Kewpies, from the Philadelphia Press, December 1917 until August 1918, including the premiere issue titled "Kewpies Arrive". Each has an extraordinarily detailed lay-out of color drawings and verse by Rose O'Neill including "Kewpish Activities of the Kewpiedoodle". Presented in large sleeved folio, the individual sheets are near impossible to find, and to have the 21 page series is phenomenal.
