Item Overview

Description

Original ink drawing by American artist and illustrator William Henry Walker (1871-1938). Original ink and watercolor painting on art board, 9x8. Initialed "W.H.W." at lower left. Undated.
Captioned "The Peddler" in pencil on back. A fantastic and disturbing image of "the peddler" offering a baby in a birdcage to what appears to be an enthusiastic sorcerer. Another baby is in the peddler's sack. William Henry Walker - painter, illustrator, cartoonist - contributed work to Life, Harper's, and other popular publications of the day. Though apparently not well-known, his paintings appear at auction with some regularity.
