Steve Greenberg Original Political Comic Strip from the Seattle Post Intelligencer entitled “The Hall Of Innocence Lost” and dated 1995. Appears to be a combination of pen & ink and cut paper. I believe this is the original art Greenberg created for the Seattle Post-Intelligencer in 1995 critical of the sad state of the world. Measures 14.5” x 11.5” overall framed in a typical black metal frame. Condition appears to be excellent. Please ask any and all questions prior to offer or purchase.
