Duck Man is an original pen drawing realized by Leo Longanesi in 1937. The little drawing is in good conditions, numbered on the lower right corner. Leo Longanesi, born Leopoldo Longanesi (1905 - 1957), was an Italian journalist, writer, publisher, painter, draftsman, caricaturist and aphorist. He tried his hand at the art of writing, graphics, typography, illustration, caricature drawing and painting, always leaving an original and counter-current imprint. He was founder and editor of various magazines such as L'Italiano (1926), Omnibus (1937) and Il Borghese (1950). A popular and sophisticated character, he was able to blend a taste for tradition with an unconventional intellectual attitude. Great talent scout, he was the maître à penser of an entire generation of writers and journalists. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
official proof of authenticity,
however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity
