Various sizes, in the original frames; about 17 x 12 inches to 18 x 16 inches overall. Some nicks and use to the frames; one coin-sized tidemark and some extremely light foxing to the portrait of Ma Joad; portraits otherwise fine. From the estate of Elizabeth Ainsworth, the author's sister. These portraits were issued separately in collection with the 1940 release of the Limited Edition Club's edition of the novel illustrated by Benton. They were presented to Steinbeck by the artist at that time, and remained in Steinbeck's possession for the rest of his life. Seller Inventory # 69902
