Crane - Hand-colored Wash Tubbs Sunday 4-10-1932

Here's a rarely seen example of a Wash Tubbs Sunday, the pre-cursor to Crane's magnificent Captain Easy Sunday page, even more rare in that it is hand-colored with the color notes in several places.

Size is about 10 x 24 inches. As you can see in the scan, the piece has sustained some minor damage over the years: chipping at the corners outside the art, a short marginal tear in the bottom right, some minor creases, smudging and staining, a partially lost title stat in the Comic Scrapbook feature on the right, and a missing pasteup in the Comic Scrapbook.
