Original magazine story illustration for A Little Matter of Garden Seeds by Edith Barnard Delano for The Saturday Evening Post, May 12, 1945
Caption: Jean had rushed downstairs when the doorbell rang, but very soon introduced him to the lemon meringue and Mrs. Gridley, and for the rest of the evening it was Mrs. Gridley to whom he talked, while Jean sat by wearing an air of supercilious aloofness, an air of determined patience

This lot also includes a pencil study of the portrait by Arnold Holeywell with the inscription: "Sketchbook from Italy, 1945. I copied this girl's head from a magazine, long before I ever knew Coby Whitmore"
