Description
1893 (Platinum-Age) Illustration
by F.B. Opper (January 2, 1857 - August 28, 1937)
Among the first wave of American Cartoonists and often regarded as one of the pioneers of the newspaper comic strip, here is a very nice "Platinum-Age" illustration by Frederick Burr (F.B.) Opper, dated 1893 on the reverse, this 11 ½” x 13” image depicts two men. Mr. Opper reworked the heads of both figures appearing in this piece and the new artwork over the original drawings. The two types of paper have aged differently. Original cartoon art from this era, not to mention the work of F.B. Opper, is very rare and virtually non-existent.
