              Est: $1,200 - $1,800

Original illustration with inscription to his friend Charlotte Adams on front free endpaper of Addams' book Drawn and Quartered (New York: Random House, 1942), first edition, lacking dust jacket). In addition to their near-identical surnames (his with a double "d"), Charlotte and the cartoonist shared the nickname "Charlie." He humorously inscribed it to her thus, with a drawing of a lightly self-caricatured couple gazing at their hideous offspring, a two-headed baby with grim faces and the caption "He looks a little like both of us, don't you think?" and signed "Chas Addams" below. Adams was a highly esteemed cookbook editor, writer, and critic. She authored the bestselling The Four Seasons Cookbook with James Beard for home cooks and fans of Manhattan's famous "it" restaurant. A bon vivant and gastronome, she befriended Addams among many within the New Yorker and New York Times social circles.

              Est: $4,000 - $6,000

              CHARLES ADDAMS (1912-1988) Mounting Preferences. Two unidentified illustrations, most likely for an advertising campaign, circa 1930s or 1940s. Watercolor, ink, and gouache on board. 203x115 mm; 8x4 1/2 inches each. Unsigned. Provenance: Originally sold by the Boston art dealer L.A. Bigelow, which at the time was located at 42 Bromfield Street. This charming pair juxtaposes a woman's unbridled joy at a work of abstract art in the manner of Jean (Hans) Arp with a disinterested man in his smoking gown, standing before his (quintessentially Addams-esque) mounted bear head. These may have been two boards from a larger series of illustrations as evidenced by the lack of Addams' signature, which he reserved for the final image of a series.

In this amusing cartoon, Addams illustrates the moment two deer hunters, each with a stag strapped to the hood of his car, realize that their fender-bender has ensnared the antlers of the other's trophy. Addams would revisit the hunter with their trophy theme. Addams and Evil features a cartoon depicting a pair of hunters in a car with a rabbit slung over the fender. Monster Rally features a cartoon with two paleontologists in a jeep with a prehistoric fossil slung over the fender. For further information on this lot please visit the Bonhams website

              Est: $2,000 - $4,000

              Charles Addams (American, 1912-1988), Paper Products for Distinctive Food Service graphite on paper, signed at lower right, inscribed faintly along lower edge of sheet, circa 1962, matted and framed under glass. Sight size 16 x 15 3/4 in.; Frame dimensions 21 1/4 x 21 1/4 in. According to the Tee & Charles Addams Foundation, this was a preliminary study for a KVP Sutherland advertising project. Addams saved all his preliminary work for the basis of possible future alterations. At an unknown date, Addams re-worked this sketch into a pen, ink and wash version featuring Uncle Fester of the Addams Family in order to sell it to The New Yorker or include it in one of his books, likely My Crowd or Favorite Haunts. The final illustration was not published until 2007 when it was used in the Chas Addams Half-Baked Cookbook (Simon & Schuster). It was also included in the foundation's 2010 exhibition at the Museum of the City of New York. The final drawing was published alongside a March 2010 article in The New York Times about the exhibition. This preliminary sketch is included in the artist's catalogue raisonné project.
