Beschreibung

Signed by du Maurier in ink. On the verso, du Maurier has written the caption for the cartoon. It complements the cartoon and accentuates the satirical image of the uncouth American asking for free tickets: "Hostess--Er--allow me to introduce--er--Mr. Cornelius P. van Dunk, from Chicago. Mr. Kemble Macready Kean the great tragedian, & manager of the Parthenon. Mr. Van Dunk, Mr. Kemble Macready Kean. Sir your name's very familiar to me, & I'm proud to know you! & I shall take an early opportunity of asking you for some orders for your theatre." When the drawing was published in Punch, the only change the editor made in the caption was to turn each ampersand into "and." There are stains in the margins of the artist board but the drawing itself is in superb condition. Size: 10 inches by 8 3/4 Inches. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers W2428
