Bowl of Fruit, Susan Flint 1938 Signed Linocut Illustration for The New Yorker, with Original Editorial Stamped Cardboard 1870s doll His doorstop on the backSusan Willard Flint (American, 1902 1984) was best known for her spots as published in the New Yorker of which this bowl of fruit on table black ink linocut is an example, signed and dated 1938 and found still adhered to a sheet of cardboard stamped by The New Yorker Editorial Department.
