Ink on board.
Unpublished cover art for "Utopia," a fanzine published by
Charles McNutt (born Charles Nutt; later Charles Beaumont; later E.T. Beaumont)
c1945
Our research shows that McNutt/Beaumont didn't draw this. It was created by a woman named Wilma Bellingham (December 7, 1918 – November 26, 2022). The two met when Beaumont went to a newsstand to buy a copy of "Astounding Stories," but Bellingham, who worked there, was reading the last copy and declined to give it up. They struck up a conversation and E.T. Beaumont was born.
