Original Eddie Germano illustration from the Boston Globe Sunday Magazine "Stars on TV" pen and ink original art series. As live variety shows with singers were being replaced by tape recordings and movies, this edition points to the "End of Live TV." Comedian Milton Berle and Jackie Gleason are highlighted, noting "Come next fall, the singers which dominated many of TVs live shows will be gone." Great image of a young Jackie; rarely do you see an illustration of him in "Ralph Kramden" character, let alone a vintage original. These Germano drawings highlighted upcoming television programs, measures 10x15" with some minor discoloration around edges, in EX condition.
