- Lot Description
Printed poster, 11 x 18.5 in., laid down on archival paper, 12.25 x 19.75 in., advertising The Sunday World's Comic Weekly for November 15 (1896), featuring a "Hogan's Alley" cartoon by George B. Luks titled "A Masquerade Ball in Hogan's Alley," and two other strips, part of an "8 page comic weekly, printed in colors."
Rare ephemera for a pioneering comic strip at the center of a fight between America's top newspaper magnates.
The Sunday World, published by Joseph Pulitzer, debuted the first color comic strip in 1895. The strip, by Richard Felton Outcault (1863-1928) was called "Hogan's Alley" but best known by its main character, "The Yellow Kid." The cartoon was immensely popular, and in 1896, William Randolph Hearst, lured Outcault to his rival New York Journal to continue the strip, but a judge decided the World retained certain rights as well. Pulitzer hired George B. Luks to continue his version, and both strips ran simultaneously for several months. Luks (1867-1933) went on to become a noted realist painter, known for his scenes of daily life in New York and considered one of the core artists of the Ashcan School movement.
Largest with repair to lid, visible welds on handles where meet body, crinkle to shoulder. Hand warmer with some dents and surface wear.Condition
