Description
1892 (Platinum-Age) Illustration
by F.M. Howarth (September 27, 1864 - September 22, 1908)
A very nice Platinum-Age illustration (from PUCK Magazine) by one of the founding fathers of cartoon art. Dated 1892 (on the reverse), original cartoon art from this era, not to mention the work of Franklin Morris "F.M." Howarth, is very rare and virtually non-existent. Features one of the earliest depictions of a public telephone booth to appear in a published cartoon or illustration. The first public coin operated telephone was installed by inventor William Gray in 1889 at a bank in Hartford, Conn. Quite possibly one of the finest examples of Mr. Howarth's illustrative style still held in a private collection and, for being almost 120 years old, it is in amazing condition.
