Description

Illustrator (1874-1944) known for creating the cartoon cupids, The Kewpies, which were featured in women's magazines and comic strips. ALS, one page both sides, 5.75 x 4.75, no date. Beautifully penned handwritten letter to "Mr. Raymond," in part: "We are so sorry you couldn't reach Bonniebrook. I do want to meet you so much—and we had the woods all dressed out in golden weather for you. I'm working like mad on the little safety heads. Tell the doll-makers, I'll send the girl up first, as soon as I can get her cast—the boy after." On the front, O'Neill adds fantastic sketches of a wing and two of her famous Kewpie cherubs. In fine condition.
