Description: Original Playboy Cartoon ArtCirca 1960's BySmilby (Francis Wilford-Smith) Up for sale is an original preliminary cartoon for Playboy done in ink and watercolor. It features a Cast Away theme. The caption is "Take me to your Hilton."This piece was done by renowned British cartoonist Francis Wilford-Smith (1927-2009) who went by the pen name "Smilby", who did work for Playboy for over 30 years. He also did work for Esquire, The New Yorker and many other publications. I am unsure if he got the ok for a published version of this piece or if it only made it to this "rough" stage.The piece is in excellent condition, with some creasing in the lower right corner and measures a large 11" x 15". It would look great framed.This is a great investment. One of Smilby's published originals recently sold at Heritage for $3,500! There is no reserve on this auction! High bidder please add $11.00 for Priority mail postage in the US, which includes insurance. If you live in NYC and would like to pick up the art, there would be no postage charge.
