Child's Favorite Sells for A Very Adult Price

According to the Washington Post, the iconic illustration for E.B. White's classic children's story "Charlotte's Web" was estimated to sell for $30k but fetched more than five times that amount at Heritage House in Manhattan.

The work by Garth Williams, a graphite-and-ink cover illustration, drew a winning bid of more than $155,000 at auction.

According to the article, this was the first time the Williams's family had put the art up for sale.
