Undated work (our guess is anywhere from 1930s to 1950s) for a Ball at Webster Hall. Art work is reminiscent of Al Hirschfeld. For an event harking back to the days “the hall hosted the annual Greenwich Village Ball from the 1910s to the 1930s, a bacchanalia where artists, bohemians, drag queens, and general reprobates of the best kind came to drink, dance, and seriously make merry until early morning. It worked hard to earn its nickname “the devil’s playhouse.” -Excerpt from "Adventures In Old New York"
