Offered is a racy caricature signed by actors Jane Russell and Marie McDonald from the 1947 book of cartoons from artist Alex Gard. Gard was a regular cartoonist for newspapers, magazines and books, but is most well known for his celebrity caricatures at Sardi's restaurant in New York City. Russell has editorialized her signature with the inscription “horrors”, but signed anyway! Russel's physical stature is, of course, legendary, and singer Marie McDonald was known alternately as “The Body Beautiful” and “The Body” for the same reasons. Pre-certified by Beckett Authentication. The sheet measures 9 x 11 inches and presents with moderate toning from display and a rough edge on the right where it was neatly torn from the book. It is adhered to matting and ready for framing. Excellent condition.
