Peter Arno: A Scowl for Morris Weiss

Cartoonist Morris Weiss (1915-2014) must have been a very happy man indeed when he received a specialty drawing from Peter Arno (1904-1968) depicting a wealthy stock character no doubt scowling beneath his handlebar mustache. The drawing was sold at auction this past week by Heritage. I wouldn't want to mess with this guy.
