Label TextThe lettering and composition of this comic drawing recall Louis Rhead's 1895 poster for Prang's Easter Publications (DAM 1989-84). However, the notable similarity of this drawing to one titled "Mourning Becomes Electra" after the 1931 Eugene O'Neill play (DAM 2000-800) argues convincingly for a later date.
