^Lot 574 Dr. Seuss

Original signed ink, pencil, and crayon sketch of the Cat in the Hat on a yellow 8 x 10 sheet, with a word balloon coming from the Cat which reads, “I’ve always wanted to be in a mini-museum!,” with Seuss adding underneath, “And so have I. And now we’ve made it! With all best wishes, …Dr. Seuss.” Matted to an overall size of 12 x 14. In fine condition, with a slight crease to lower right corner and dings to edges of mat. This piece was pictured in color in Bob Bennett’s book Collecting Original Cartoon Art.
