Ragtime. Lithograph, 19x25 inches oblong. Artist's proof, signed by Hirschfeld and annotated "AP II/XV" in pencil, lower margin. "At last an original Broadway musical . . . The lavish production, based on the E.L. Doctorow novel, was just as bustling as this drawing. It was a pretty hectic time there at the turn of the last century. You've got Houdini in chains, Evelyn Nesbit in her notorious red swing, Emma Goldman in her equally notorious defiant anarchist stance. In the front row you get the characters of the drama, the three couples the show follows as they struggle to enter the new world of the new century. (With Jim Corti, Lynette Perry, Judy Kaye, Brian Stokes Mitchell, Audra McDonald, Lea Michele, Peter Friedman, Mark Jacoby, and Marin Mazzie.)." HOL/271.
