[Rarebooks] FS: Signed Al Hirschfeld with an Original Self-Portrait

[Charles Agvent]

HIRSCHFELD, Al. SHOW BUSINESS IS NO BUSINESS. New York: Simon & 
Schuster, (1951). First Edition. Illustrated by the author. This copy 
INSCRIBED and SIGNED by the artist on the page with the publisher's 
logo: "For the Heyn's/with much love/HIRSCHFELD 7/77." In addition 
Hirschfeld has drawn an ORIGINAL SELF-PORTRAIT incorporating the Simon & 
Schuster spotlight transforming it into a bass that he is strumming. 
While signed books by Hirschfeld are still readily obtainable, those 
with original drawings, especially one such as this that superbly 
captures the artist's wit and imagination, have become quite scarce.
