An interesting series of original pen and ink sketches by Thackeray, unsigned, two pages, oblong 8vo, n.p., n.d. The drawings include three profile images of the same gentleman wearing a top hat; a fierce, crouching lion with two Egyptian pyramids in the background, and several other animals including a begging dog, a crowing rooster and a mouse. To the verso appear sketches of a paddlewheel steamship (named Napoleon ), filled with passengers, churning along in rough water, a poodle, and a scene (perhaps in a restaurant or hotel) showing people seated at several tables, a waiter serving tea or coffee, people serving themselves at a buffet, a gentleman in a doorway, and several others engaged in a group conversation. Annotated Amiens in Thackeray's hand at the foot. Some light creasing and age wear and two very small traces of former mounting. About VG
