Both are individually matted and framed to overall sizes of 18.5 x 20.5 and 22.5 x 20.75. Includes a deluxe limited first edition of Hirschfeld: On Line, numbered 432/550, published by Applause Books of New York in 1999, hardcover with slipcase, signed on the colophon in black ink, "Hirschfeld." In overall fine condition. Accompanied by the original shipping label, which indicates that the drawings were obtained from the Margo Feiden Galleries in 2008.
