McClure's, 1925.
Price: $3,500.00
Unbound. Pen and ink and wash illustration on Bainbridge artists board. Approximately 15" x 10". Unsigned. Thin line of offsetting at the very edges, evidence of previous matting on verso, stamped "McClure's" and pencil note "September, 1925" on verso, very good or better. Image of a young lothario staring intently into the eyes of a flapper with bobbed hair on the ninth hole of a golf course. Meanwhile, a balding and bespectacled elder gentleman, presumably the flapper's father, takes aim with his club at the cranium of the romantic swain. After a good run as a respected news and literary magazine, *McClure's* remade itself into a women's magazine, publishing sporadically until it sputtered to a halt in early 1926. Apparently there was no September 1925 issue of *McClure's*, but we assume this was originally intended to accompany a story there.
