Description

A cool pair of illustrations done in 1946 by Milton Caniff. After his hugely successful run on Terry and Pirates, 1946 saw Caniff starting off on a new comic adventure in the form of creator owned and controlled Steve Canyon. To promote the character, Caniff did a national tour and stopped in many of the important newspaper cities. While in Denver, he stayed with Alexis and Esther McKinney and drew these two illustrations for their 9 year old daughter, Eunice. Alexis was the assistant to the publisher of the Denver Post at the time. These are truly unique pieces which I happy to have in my collection and backstory and historical context of the art only adds to my appreciation.

Looks like he's ready to go up to the Klondike in search for gold! Really nice, and great provenance too.
