Original Drawing by the Illustrator of Charlotte's Web

[New York Window Washer Original Drawing]

Williams, Garth

Notes: Original pen-and-ink drawing. Roughly 6 by 9 inches.

This drawing depicts a window washer on the outside of a tall building.

Probably from 1943 to 1946, when Williams was a staff illustrator for the New Yorker magazine. Only seven of his drawings ever appeared in the magazine during his three years there, but it did lead to a connection with New Yorker writer E. B. White, who recommended Williams to illustrate his children's books, Stuart Little and Charlotte's Web.

Edition + Condition: A fine example signed in the upper left corner with initials. Small red tick mark in the upper right corner.

Publication: (1943–1946).
