Description: Guaranteed original ! ... FRAME IT AND HANG IT! The little rich spoiled disobedient "soft" boy wishes he were more like the rough & mature poor boy! Looking back as if he were a little boy again, these are the things in comic form that he would tell his mamma (the truth) about what he thinks would have really been best for him. Here is an old original 1880's comic plate #8 entitled, "IF I WAS A LITTLE BOY" with some great novelty and cultural historical appeal: This type of comic portrayal made its way from France to the USA in the 1880-1890's known as Pellerin's "Imagerie d'Epinal" (Pellerin was the first publisher in France of such colorful sequential images and was born in the city of Epinal, France). Such colorful, detailed and entertaining consecutive images were instrumental in paving a path for the birth of the modern comics as we know and adore them today by crossing the ocean and being translated into English for the "Humoristic Publishing Co." of Kansas City, MO. They published a very limited & scarce series of 60 different "comic" plates, this being one such plate (original). Measures about 15.5" x 12" ...Please include $4.95 s/h. Thanks for stopping by...
