Geisel, Theodore Seuss - "Dr. Seuss". Fantastic original full-length drawing of The Cat in the Hat signed "Dr. Seuss" at lower right, 8 x 6½ in. The Cat looks very debonair in his tall (pale) red and white hat and red bowtie. He carries a blue umbrella in his right hand and checks with his left hand to see if it is raining. Archivally matted and framed to an overall size of 18 x 16 in. Theodore Geisel wrote and illustrated The Cat in the Hat to promote elementary literacy by capturing the imagination of six and seven year olds. The book was published in 1957 and may well be the most popular Dr. Seuss book. This is an enchanting piece.
Estimated Value $3,000 - 5,000.
