Here She Comes! (Safe in a Large Tin Box) (for The Christian Science Monitor)
Emil Weiss American, born Moravia
Not on view
This is one of a group of designs for cartoons published in the Chrisitan Science Monitor that relate to the exhibition of the Mona Lisa at the Metropolitan Museum between February 7 and March 4, 1963. The famous painting was lent to the United States by the government of the French Republic, arriving in January at the National Gallery, Washington DC. Record-breaking crowds greeted it in New York, with visitors willing to wait in line for hours along Fifth Avenue. Here, crowds watch a large box emerge from the back of a truck by the museum steps.
