Here are some items we have sold in the past at Nate D. Sanders Auctions:
Beautifully rendered watercolor and ink drawing of Winnie-the-Pooh and Piglet by E.H. Shepard, the illustrator chosen by A.A. Milne to bring his literary characters to life. Here, Shepard draws Pooh and Piglet upon a letter to his agent, allowing the characters to express his feelings of gratitude and joy. In the autograph letter signed, dated 29 February 1932, Shepard thanks his agent for a letter, writing that he has “done splendidly” and that “this view is shared by others.” To emphasize his feelings, Shepard draws Winnie-the-Pooh reaching up and Piglet excitedly jumping at his side. Shepard must have been very pleased with his agent, as he very seldom drew his most famous characters; this drawing, done early in the illustrator’s career and just a few years after the Pooh series, is a rare exception. Single page is written from Long Meadow, Guildford. Light uniform toning and mounted to card. Overall in very good to near fine condition. Sold for $40,954.
Sir John Tenniel original illustration from ”Through the Looking Glass”, the sequel to the enormously successful ”Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland”. This illustration appears on page 201 of the first edition of ”Looking Glass”, done to illustrate the text, ”She was standing before an arched doorway over which were the words QUEEN ALICE in large letters…” A presentation inscription by Tenniel is written to the lower margin, ”With Mr. Tenniel’s kind regards / Christmas 1876”. Pencil drawing was done sometime between 1869-1871 when Tenniel again collaborated with Lewis Carroll in illustrating his novel, an undertaking that Tenniel first rejected due to the time-consuming nature of the work: after drawing preliminary sketches, Tenniel would transfer the artwork onto woodblocks using tracing paper and then finish shading on the blocks. The Brothers Dalziel would then produce engravings from the blocks. Tenniel at first rejected Carroll’s offer to illustrate ”Looking Glass”, but ultimately relented as Carroll could find no other illustrator that matched Tenniel’s ”grotesque” interpretation of the fantasy creatures he envisioned. Drawing measures 3.25” x 4.5”, archivally matted and framed to 11.25” x 12.75”. Very light foxing to margins and light uniform toning, overall near fine condition. From the Bronson Winthrop collection of Tenniel drawings: Parke-Bernet sale of 12 March 1945, lot 164. Sold for $37,500.
Original Illustration by Arthur Rackham of the Cheshire Cat, Drawn for Page 106 of “Alice in Wonderland” — With His Signature Mischievous Grin
Original and beguiling illustration of the Cheshire Cat from the 1907 edition of Lewis Carroll’s timeless classic, “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland,” by noted British illustrator Arthur Rackham. Known as one of England’s “Golden Age” illustrators during the beginning of the 20th century, Rackham illustrated various whimsical scenes for this edition of the book. Illustration appears on p. 106 of the book, in the chapter entitled “The Queen’s Croquet Ground.” Drawn in pen, black ink and watercolor heightened with gum arabic and gouache paint for an opaque effect, illustration depicts the face of the unforgettable cheshire cat grinning widely in a dreamy smoke plume. Rackham signs his initials boldly “AR” at lower left. Drawing measures 8.5″ x 6″, with some later additions added by Rackham, and a glazing over the artwork for further protection. Near fine condition. Sold for $13,613.

Sketches number in the dozens, composed on 52 sheets, replete with various alien creatures (one resembling his E.T. character), and spaceships resembling parasites. One sheet shows cars in bubbles populating the sky, as the artwork was done for a Chevrolet-Showscan collaboration; Showscan was a high-speed, large-format movie process designed by Douglas Trumbull in the late 1970s. Many of the sheets are initialed “R.M.Q.” by McQuarrie, who also adds “Showscan ‘Chevy’” at the bottom. Size of sheets vary, with most measuring 12″ x 9″ and some as large as 17″ x 11″. Most sketches are done in pencil, with some in colored pencil and watercolor. In very good to near fine condition.
