About the Item

Rare original cartoon illustration by listed American cartoonist Fred Lundy. Fred Ralph Lundy (1902-1989) studied art at the University of Oregon before moving to California in 1924. Following further study at the CCAC, he was an artist with the Oakland Tribune from 1935-1935 and an editorial cartoonist for the San Francisco Examiner from 1935 until retirement in 1976. His cartoons appeared in Saturday Evening Post, Colliers, Esquire, New Yorker, and other national magazines. He died in Daly City, CA on January 16th, 1989. This is an original cartoon that would have appeared in the San Francisco Examiner in 1938. This was done during the great depression and shows a brown bear lamenting the past of the Gold Rush days in California. Signed in the lower right corner. Dimensions: 11" x 14". Good vintage condition. This will look great in a new frame. Comes unframed.
