Mary Petty

(1899 - 1976)

Married to fellow The New Yorker cartoonist Alan Dunn.

On December 3, 1971, after having been missing for two days, Petty was found on Wards Island, New York, badly beaten and incoherent. She was left with the "mental capacity of a three year old" and lived the remainder of her life in a nursing home.

I have six Mary Petty American Folio Prints is very good condition. As I am downsizing and all of the grand kids are grown, I would like to find a home for them. Does anyone out there know a range of value, and how I may market them?
