Description :

A nostalgic slice of street life, this framed lithograph titled “The Organ Grinder” was created by renowned illustrator Frank X. Leyendecker and originally published in Collier’s Magazine in 1914. The scene features a dapper organ grinder with his monkey companion, charming a young girl in a moment of whimsy and warmth. Leyendecker’s expressive linework and storytelling flair shine through in this early American magazine illustration.  Printed as part of the rare “American Art by American Artists” portfolio, this piece is professionally framed and ready to display—a delightful addition for collectors of vintage illustration, Americana, or early 20th-century ephemera.
Dimensions : 17 in W x 21 in H
