American artist best known for his satirical etchings (born 1921). Two limited edition etchings: a color hard- and soft-ground etching, drypoint, and open-bite etching, with à la poupée inking, and relief rolls through stencils, entitled ‘Dillinger: Attack and Defense at Little Bohemia,’ 35.5 x 25, numbered 23/50, signed in the lower border in pencil, “Warrington Colescott, 1966”; and a color etching, drypoint, and photogravure on ivory wove paper, entitled ‘Dillinger: The Battle of Little Bohemia,’ 30.5 x 22, artist’s proof, signed in the lower border in pencil, “Warrington Colescott, 1965.” In overall very good to fine condition, with scattered staining, foxing, and soiling to ‘Dillinger: The Battle of Little Bohemia.’ The original owner of this piece ran a Wisconsin gallery during the 1960s and passed it on to her son when the gallery closed its doors; it has remained in the family since that time.
