(6) James Thurber's Collection Pieces. Two framed signed ink drawings of dogs. Two collector James Thurber plates. Sheet of 1993 Thurber postage stamps. Book of his collection of dog short stories and illustrations.
James Thurber, the celebrated American humorist and cartoonist, was well known for his deep affection for dogs, which featured prominently in both his writing and illustrations. His love for these animals was not merely sentimental but often served as a vehicle for his characteristic wit and insight into human nature. Dogs in Thurber’s work frequently embodied loyalty, absurdity, and a kind of quiet wisdom, standing in contrast to the chaos of the human world. His stories and cartoons—many of which appeared in The New Yorker—portrayed dogs with a blend of tenderness and dry humor, capturing their quirks and endearing qualities in a way that resonated with readers. For Thurber, dogs were not just pets but emblematic companions in life’s bewildering journey.
