Item Price/Item Quantity
1987 Jack Higgins Orig Cartoon Art Harold Washington Chicago Lakeshore Erosion $99.95

This is the original artwork by Jack Higgins for his Chicago Sun-Times editorial cartoon dated 1987 on the front. On the back there is a date stamp of Jan. 20, 1987 6:50 p.m. so this probably was published around January 21, 1987. The cartoon shows Lake Michigan shoreline erosion and buildings falling into the lake with one character saying "A Study Committee!! Our buildings are falling in the lake. We could drown!" and Chicago Mayor Harold Washington responding "Here. Have a Lifesaver!", while offering him one of those candies. The figure next to Harold Washington is probably his Republican opponent in the 1987 Chicago Mayoral election, Donald H. Haider. Alderman Haider represented the 48th Ward along the lakefront, where there were many lakefront buildings. In January, 1987 Mayor Harold Washington announced that he was forming an advisory Chicago Shoreline Protection Commission. The artwork measures approx. 12-1/2" x 17-3/4". This is the original artwork that Jack Higgins created. On the back you can see some markings / notes made by Sun-Times editors. The artwork is in good condition - there are some light corrections and touch-ups on the art - there are a few small marks/smudges on the art - there is some light dirt along the margins - on the back there is some transfer from other art that was stored underneath it- in the lower left corner there is a small splotch. A NICE, ONE-OF-A-KIND PIECE OF EDITORIAL ARTWORK THAT WOULD LOOK GREAT FRAMED! When packed, this will ship at the 2 pound rate - check the postage calculator. Jack Higgins has worked at the Chicago Sun-Times for over 35 years and won a Pulitzer Prize for Editorial Cartooning in 1989. Check out my other listings for a few other cartoons by Jack Higgins.
