About Sophie
TENNIEL
(Sir John, 1820-1914, Caricaturist & Illustrator of ‘Alice in Wonderland’)
Exceptional Autograph Letter signed in full to Mrs Grahame
sending “a thousand apologies for the delay...” sending best wishes for “this ‘
New Year
’ and the years to come. It was, indeed! - a great happiness to me to receive a little ‘
Christmas Greeting
’ from you and I thank you... but why you should suppose that I have
already
arrived at the stage of ‘
second childishness’
which delights in toys! - and which the ‘
picture-post card
’ so picturesquely suggests! altogether passes my feeble imagination to discover, seeing that I am only
just about completing
my
84th
year!!! Some weak minded person might possibly take it -
Sarcastic
? I am ‘not such a sickly creature I give heaven praise’, and even venture to hope that ‘tho’ lost to sight’ - I may be, not entirely forgotten...”, 2 sides 8vo., 10 Portsdown Road, Maida Hill, 5th January
