Bowl of Fruit, Susan Flint 1938 Signed Linocut Illustration for The New Yorker, with Original Editorial Stamped Cardboard

Susan 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. Feels SO classic New Yorker to me, and indeed Flint's illustrations like this one, contributed just a decade into the publication's run, helped to define the look. Yes, there is some old rubber glue stain showing through the paper here, but for me those are very romantic stains, having carried it through Harold Ross's editorial offices! 

Flint studied at the Phoenix Art Institute in New York and showed at venues including the Morton Gallery, the  Delphic Studio, and the Opportunity Gallery at the Art Center in New York, A large collection of her art and archives are held in the Petersham Historical Society, Petersham, Massachusetts, where the artist spent much of her life. 

6 5/8" x 4 1/4". Glue stains showing through from reverse as evident and some toning. Signed and dated in pencil on reverse. Original cardboard mount included.
