Description: Fine Mel Ott Time Magazine cover original artwork by Ernest Hamlin Baker c.1945. Well done original gouache on board has been signed "Ernest Hamlin Baker" within the work at lower left. Evidently unsatisfied with the original version the face was repainted and affixed over a more somber looking Ott. This second version has since come loose (with a resulting outline of residue below) but could be reaffixed by a conservator if so desired. Framed to 12.75"x14" (no glass) with some light toning/wear including a crease to both the original work and (more prominently) the secondary face. Includes (2) original issues of Time Magazine (one the standard, the other a black and white Pacific Edition) and letter of provenance from the Ott Family: GD-VGEstimated Price Range: ($1,500-$2,500)
