In her time, she was the highest paid and most famous cartoonist. 11 x 8 ½. An autograph manuscript signed Rose ONeill and illustrated by her. It is her original poem The Three Magical Hearts and the drawings have a Viking theme. She created this for Christian Birger Matta, presumably a youngster. ONeill wrote Three magical hearts of Norge / Came over the world in ships / And brought the night suns of their eyes / The liquid of their lips / They brought their sea souls wildly wise / The Viking dream enclose / And the flowing flame of the northern skied / To redden a western rose / And all the hearts were sea-hearts / Wise as worlds are wide / Enchanted well with olden tales and tunes / And floods of stars that rose along the tide / And fleets of full-rigged moons. The manuscript is tanned and slightly fragile; there is archival tape on the verso to reinforce the central vertical fold. There is light chipping to the margins, including one near the conclusion of her autograph. A beautiful illustrated letter.
