Description
One Original Color Painting and Two Original Charcoal Drawings by Garth Williams
Garth Williams (American Artist, 1912-1996). One Original
Full-Color Painting and Two Original Charcoal Drawings for
JB's Harmonica (published in 1993 by Harcourt,
Brace Jovanovich). [N.p., n.d., ca. 1992-1993]. Approximately
12 x 9 inches on stiff paper. The original painting of "JB" has
been affixed to the original painted background. Minor occasional
thumbsoiling to charcoal drawings, one with an ink notation. Fine.
Originally, the characters of this book had been conceived as
humans; they later became bears (presumably to broaden the book's
appeal to younger children). JB's Harmonica was written by
John Sebastian (musician and composer, and founding member of
The Lovin' Spoonful) and illustrated by Williams. The
creative process for this charming book must have been a relatively
harmonious one, as Williams was Sebastian's godfather! From the
Estate of Garth Williams.
