| Artist: George Booth (b. 1926)
Description: Dog sitting next to sign Caption: “BEWARE! – Skittish dog” Publication information: Not published, rather a version of one of Booth’s most recognized cartoons. The published version appeared in The New Yorker on August 15th, 1977. A third version appears in the book, Omnibooth: The Best of George Booth. A copy of the book accompanies the purchase of the artwork. Medium: pen and ink Size: 2.75 x 4.5” Signature: signed, lower right. Condition: The ink has faded somewhat, otherwise good, framed. Comment: In a 1999 interview with the Boston Phoenix, Booth recalls this cartoon, saying “I drew an ornery-looking mutt in the New Yorker and somebody wrote a letter and said, ‘Is that an English bull terrier?’ And I didn’t know what they looked like. I went to the library, and gradually the dog became an English bull terrier… I had drawn a dog sitting next to a sign that read Beware of skittish dog. That was the character that started that. I think Mr. Shawn had said something about it. He liked it.” A copy of the article is included with the purchase of the artwork. Price: $2,500.
