ORIGINAL SKETCHES SENT AS A REPLY TO A LETTER

BEERBOHM

(Sir H. Max, 1872-1956, Humorist & Caricaturist)
Page of five pencil caricature sketches
on the blank last sheet of an Autograph Letter from Ethell STYAN in which she asks him if he could do a drawing for me to give Lord Howard de Walden for a wedding present. I can think of nothing more suitable nor applicable to him that that - but I can't afford more than ten guineas for it. Can that be done? Sickert would approve this frank & brutal bargain. I do hope you are going to give us some more of Julenka's exploits. She has been refreshing. Lord Howard is to be married on the 20th inst. I have left it till late of course..., on the verso of the 3rd side are 5 sketches of heads of men, mostly with rather prominent noses in caricature expressions, 4 sides 8vo., in total, 30 South Street Mayfair headed paper, 11th February
Item Date: 1912
