About the Item
Ethel Merman "Annie Get Your Gun" original Mid Century Broadway theatre drawing
Ethel Merman in the pre-Broadway tour of ANNIE GET YOUR GUN, 18 ½ x 22 inches by Sam Norkin. This drawing is signed, titled and dated 1946, Boston.
Sam Norkin was a Brooklyn born artist who specialized in theater caricatures for more than seven decades. His drawings of theater, opera, ballet and film celebrities appeared in Variety, Backstage, The Philadelphia Enquirer, The Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, The Boston Globe and other publications.
During the 1940s, newspaper editors wanted to devote more space to new theatrical productions, but photo opportunities usually did not happen until a show opened. Norkin took advantage of the situation and gained access to rehearsals, performers, costume sketches, fittings and scenic designs, providing editors with illustrations prior to an opening.
From 1940 to 1956, his theatrical illustrations were a regular feature in the New York Herald Tribune. Then for the next 26 years, he covered the performing arts for the Daily News. Since 1940, Norkin has had more than 4000 drawings published.
This drawing is unframed. We have several more iconic works by the artist.
