Description

Classic, and well known, Winsor McCay editorial cartoon entitled, “Children of Ignorance.” This one has all the hallmarks of a great McCay editorial - great imagery, mesmerizing detail, and amazing moral allegory (children of ignorance are vice, poverty, and crime? Genius!). As with most McCay editorial cartoons, art is a nice size - 10 1/2” x 22.5”. For me, it’s hard to get better!

I'm ok with Vice. But seriously, great pick-up Ben, strong images and so much lovely cross-hatching, love it! I look forward to seeing this in person.
