Not on view

Christmas carolers gather around the door of a Victorian mansion while, on the roof above, Lurch prepares to tip a steaming vat of oil or lead down over them, encouraged by Gomez Addams and watched by Morticia. The print reproduces a cartoon printed in The New Yorker, December 21, 1946 without a caption and comes from a set of images by Charles Addams, under copyright of "The New Yorker," published by the American Folio Company, Westport, Connecticut.
