Helene Nyce - Pride of Lions Original Illustration

An original ink over graphite piece attributed to the vintage classic childrens illustrator from the 20th century, Helene Nyce. Shows a fierce pride of lions emerging from the shadows and ready to attack an unwanted visitor! Acquired at auction with the artists name inscribed on the frame.

Helene Nyce was born in New Jersey and earned diplomas in Industrial Arts and Illustration at the Philadelphia Museum School. She had illustrations appearing publications such as the Ladies Home Journal, American Woman Magazine, etc. She is probably best known for her series, Flossie Fisher's Funnies, in the Ladies Home Journal in the early 20th century. Measures approximately 6"x7" and could possibly have been used for a published book or childrens story. In excellent condition.
