About the artist Alfred Freuh: From 1920 to 1921 Life magazine published a weekly drawing by Frueh of a leading character or performer in a current play. In 1925 he left The World and joined the fledgling New Yorker magazine. Frueh had two drawings in the first issue of the magazine and executed its second cover. His last drawing for the New Yorker was done in 1962 at the age of eight-one. The 1922 publication of his portfolio STAGE FOLK, linoleum cuts of selected theater caricatures, met with great success. The forty-one caricatures represent work from 1907-1922. The small publishing house of Lieber and Lewis produced the volume, which sold in 1922 for $10.00. The linoleum blocks were cut by Frueh and printed on Japan paper. The edition was limited to 500 copies. |
