Information

pencil and ink on cardboard
37 x 57,5 cm
Sunday page dated 1907 for "A Pilgrim's Progress by Mister Bunion". For only five years, between 1905 and 1910, McCay lavished his irrepressible genius in an allegorical strip entitled "A Pilgrim's Progress by Mister Bunion" giving the protagonist the task of giving voice to the harsh social criticisms of its author. Mister Bunion constantly tries to get rid of a suitcase with the words "Dull Care", the stupid worries and chores of life, without unfortunately never succeeding. Pin holes in the margins. Signed by MaCay under the pseudonym Silas and dated.
