Geisel, Theodore Seuss - "Dr. Seuss" - Original Drawings. Original drawings of Yertle the Turtle, 8 x 5 in., and the Lorax, 3 x 5 in. Each drawing is inscribed and signed, "Best Wishes! Dr. Seuss." The two drawings are matted together to an overall size of 21¼ x 14½ in. and ready for framing. Yertle the Turtle and Other Stories was first published in 1958. Yertle, the king of the pond, misused his fellow turtles by ordering them to stand on top of each other so that he could stand on top and literally rise to greater heights. He gets his comeuppance when a burp from the poor turtle at the bottom of the heap sends him tumbling into the mud. The Lorax was first published in 1971. The Lorax is a creature, invented by Seuss, who speaks up for the environment against the greedy and destructive Once-ler.
