I think there were a lot of Caniff fans after this piece. I got lucky, though it would've been nice to get it a little cheaper. ;) When it arrived, I was somewhat stunned by the condition and quality of the piece. I own several pieces of original artwork by Caniff and this is one of the finest.

The fact that Caniff met with Crawford, had her hold this very drawing, took a photo of the occasion and that the photo has stayed with the original art all these years is what really makes this a special piece in my eyes. Without the photo, it would still be a cool piece, but just another original Caniff specialty piece. Having the photo puts it over the top!

Not sure how I missed you posting this one. Huge congratulations. I am glad you got it, this belongs with you. I agree with Ruben, the photo takes this to the next level.
