Lot Description  

***Erratum***
F.D.R. is tossing the first pitch to Joe McCarthy and not John McGraw as stated in the catalog
Charming and masterful pen and ink is based on the famous photo of F.D.R. tossing out the first pitch beside a smiling Joe McCarthy. If the style looks familiar, it's likely that you are a Superman comics fan. It's what the artist is best known for. But then, hey, these are supermen too! Commissioned for publication in the famous periodical. Professionally matted and framed.
