That Al Hirschfeld drew New York and that Hirschfeld drew Hollywood is hardly news. But it will come as a revelation to even the artist's most ardent fans that in the Hirschfeld archive over five hundred works are dedicated to his British subjects. Until Louise Kerz Hirschfeld connected all the dots evidence of the artist's life-long Anglomania had remained dispersed among hundreds of portfolios in different locations. Mrs. Hirschfeld has convened the first-ever reunion of actors directors playwrights politicians publicans musicians enough to gloriously fill a new volume populated with nearly eight decades of Hirschfeld on Great Britain or as we have come to think of it Hirschfeld's British Aisles! Here are the fabled luminaries of the West End: Gielgud Richardson Olivier Coward Guinness Scofield captured in their moments of stage glory by the only recording device allowed in the theatre: Al Hirschfeld's pencil. Also includes Peter Ustinov Gertrude Lawrence Rex Harrison Jeremy Irons Julie Andrews Jonathan Price and others. Even Twiggy the only human thinner than Hirschfeld's lines makes an appearance.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50191767142673,"sku":"CIN1557836744VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50382390395153,"sku":"CIN1557836744G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":50390594814225,"sku":"CIN1557836744A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52692802306321,"sku":"GOR002654888","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1557836744.jpg?v=1775728796"},{"product_id":"best-plays-1983-1984-book-al-hirschfeld-9780396083474","title":"Best Plays 1983-1984","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50288076226833,"sku":"CIN0396083471G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0396083471.jpg?v=1751325021"},{"product_id":"speakeasies-of-1932-book-al-hirschfeld-9781557835185","title":"The Speakeasies of 1932","description":"Introduction by Pete Hamill.

Decades before the PBS documentaries, before Bill Clinton, Al Hirschfeld went to Harlem. No artist ever captured Harlem's dangerous highs and bluesy lows like this Master of the Performing Curve. Hirschfeld began his artistic Harlem odyssey six decades ago, charting that legendary New York neighborhood's special rhythms and moods in splashy feverish hues. Hirschfeld's Harlem opens onto a special portfolio of these full-color works, a pictorial essay of the Swing Era. Wynton Marsalis, Quincy Jones, Lena Horne and Harry Belafonte, among a dozen other Harlem artists and critics, supply accompanying commentary, reminiscences and analysis - each voice focusing on one portrait. Then it's back to Hirschfeld in his signature black and white takes on forty Harlem artists and public figures: Gregory Hines, Duke Ellington, James Earl Jones, Ethel Waters and dozens more - all have been caught in the creative act by one of our greatest artists. Each drawing is accompanied by a thumbnail narrative by Hirschfeld about the most famous inhabitants and transients of these fabled streets. Hirschfeld's Harlem opens a picture window into nearly a century of Black American artistry and life.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":50468752982289,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50468756193553,"sku":"CIN1557836752G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53614416789777,"sku":"NIN9781557836755","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1557836752.jpg?v=1751150549"},{"product_id":"entertainers-book-al-hirschfeld-9780241897423","title":"The Entertainers","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":50661855920401,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50661857198353,"sku":"GOR003231879","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52880818864401,"sku":"GOR002926499","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0241897424.jpg?v=1750941129"},{"product_id":"best-plays-of-1972-1973-book-al-hirschfeld-9780396068785","title":"The Best Plays of 1972-1973","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":50762028155153,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50762032972049,"sku":"CIN0396068782G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0396068782.jpg?v=1751260125"},{"product_id":"speakeasies-of-1932-book-al-hirschfeld-9781557836762","title":"The Speakeasies of 1932","description":"When Manhattan joints were hung out to dry, the Booze-oizie sniveled, then pirouetted on their stools to find reasonably palatable Speakeasy facsimiles.
