Mrs. Neill died in 1984 and the Neill archive was distributed among Neill's three daughters, Natalie, Annrea, and Joan. This youngest daughter, Joan Neill Farnsworth, dutifully preserved her share for many years, making it available to researchers and scholars as needed. Joan died in 2011 and the Neill archive was split, yet again, between Joan's four children.
The wonderful pieces offered here are all from the collection of one of the granddaughters of John R. Neill. Each piece of art sold at johnrneill.com comes with a letter of provenance. This is a rare chance to own one of Neill's original drawings. We
will be featuring some of his exquisite pen-and-ink work, sumptuous
paintings, original magazine art, and of course some very rare Oz
material. Keep checking our store - more drawings will be added weekly.
One of the treasures of the collection is this magical rabbit painting from Pictorial Review!
