Description

Sketches of Capote and his bulldog, presented to the author by a New Yorker cartoonist

Fantastic original ink sketches of Truman Capote and his English bulldog Maggie accomplished by great New Yorker cartoonist Peter Arno on an off-white 8.5 x 11.5 sheet, signed and inscribed to Capote in the lower left, "For Truman and the Bunk, with best wishes, Arno, Paris '58." A second integral sheet features two preliminary sketches by Arno of the back of Capote's head, which he scribbled through. In fine condition. In 1958, Capote published his iconic novella Breakfast at Tiffany's.
