Fred Allen. Design for his 1954 Christmas Card.
Pen and Ink on paper. 141/2x 13 inches, matted; partially dampstained. Signed lower right. 1954.
Hirschfeld and the great comedian were old friends. Treadmill to Oblivion (illustrated by Hirschfeld) had just been published, so this was a timely design. For a copy of the book, see lot 26.
