[ translate ]

*Richard 'Dick' Williams (Canadian-British, 1933-2019) 'Baby Herman' from 'Who Framed Roger Rabbit' signed and inscribed 'To RAY from BABY HERMAN VIA Dick Williams' l.c., pencil 36 x 27cm The American film 'Who Framed Roger Rabbit' (1988) creates a world where people and cartoon 'toons' co-exist, it is a murder mystery plot to discover who framed Roger Rabbit with murder. In the film, Baby Herman is Roger Rabbit's best 'toon' friend. Richard Williams was head of animation for the film. Williams refused to work in Hollywood and so production of the film was moved to London. The current owner worked as a cameraman on the film; Dick Williams drew this picture for him, but mistook his name for 'Ray'. *Artist's Resale Right may apply to this lot.

Unexamined out of glazed clip frame, the work is drawn on hole-punched paper, there are two minor smudges by Baby Herman's left foot and some minor handling creases (likely from the time of execution) otherwise, in apparently good and original condition.
