Portrait vignettes, like the present work, were drawn to break up the text within the periodical's columns and remain rare examples of some of Sickert's only graphic work in this vein. This drawing depicts John Addison who was a well-known Liberal MP of the period. Provenance Produced as an illustration for The Whirlwind magazine, 1890

DODGSON C. L.: (1832-1898) Lewis Carroll. English Author of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. A.L.S., with his entwined initials C L D, one page, oblong 8vo, Ch[rist] Ch[urch], 17th March n.y. (1897), to 'My dear Ursula' (his young friend Ursula Mallam). Uncharacteristically penned in dark fountain pen ink, and not his usual violet ink, Dodgson writes, in full, 'Please tell your mother I'll meet the Tram at 6-15 at Carfax on Tuesday: &, if that fails, I'll be there at 6-30 also; & again at 6-45. May I fetch you for tea next Saturday? I wd. come at abt. 3. Your loving friend…' Accompanied by an original unsigned pencil drawing by Dodgson, on a slim 8vo piece (with partial printed text to the verso relating to a consecrated burial ground), the image showing a young man standing in a full length pose, with his legs set apart, wearing a hat and with a somewhat astonished expression on his face. Annotated beneath in pencil by Ursula Mallam, in later years, 'This was drawn by “Lewis Carroll” ' . A rare, interesting and desirable pair. Some light age wear and a few minor creases to the drawing, G to generally VG, 2 Ursula Mallam (1886-1977) Daughter of James Thomas Mallam, an Oxford estate agent and auctioneer, and his wife Alice. The present letter is unpublished, however The Letters of Lewis Carroll, ed. Morton N. Cohen, Vol.II, pages 1114-1116, provide some interesting background to the letter and drawing. Although not meeting Dodgson on the day specified in the present letter, Ursula Mallam had had tea with the writer and his nieces a few weeks earlier, on 27th February, and later recounted the occasion in a letter to Cohen stating, in part, '[Dodgson] invited me to tea in his rooms at Christ Church. He came to fetch me on the appointed day and during the walk to Christ Church he talked about the Alice books….after tea we played writing games….all of it very noisy. A little later he came to tea with us and the games afterwards were much the same sort and included drawing pictures [quite possibly including the present drawing]. Shortly afterwards we left Oxford and I regret that I never met him again.'

I thinked and thinked and thinked last year; but I didn't think enough to fill a book!', further explaining 'So I made a story about Jemima Puddleduck instead - and it will be in the shops very soon. I hope you will like it'. Potter further states 'I must try and do another rabbit book; all the little boys and girls like the rabbits best' and also comments on her current activities and life, 'I am staying at a house where there are lots of wild rabbits in the garden - there is a quite black rabbit [at this point Potter adds the first of her illustrations, a pen and ink drawing of a black rabbit running, executed in a silhouette style] who lives at the top of a bank opposite my bedroom window. When I am dressing in the morning I can see him sitting on a stump washing his face with his paws [Potter adds a second illustration, a pen and ink drawing of the black rabbit seated on the stump, again executed in a silhouette style] I have got a rabbit, but it is brown; I call it Joseph. It is very tame & licks my hands, but I think if it got out, it would run away into the wood. It lives in a hutch and has a nice little yard where it can run about and eat grass. I have got a little brown mouse called Dusty [at this point Potter inserts a third illustration, a simple pen and ink drawing of her mouse seated in profile] it is running about the table while I write, it has been sniffing at this letter. I am sure it wants to send its love to you!' At the conclusion of her letter, alongside her signature, Potter has drawn a fourth sketch, a charming pen and ink fully detailed illustration of Dusty sitting up on his hind legs and apparently eating as he holds his front legs to his mouth. Accompanied by the original envelope hand addressed by Potter. A wonderful and charming letter of excellent content, relating to Peter Rabbit and Jemima Puddleduck, enhanced in its rarity and desirability by Potter's four original illustrations. A neat split to the right edge of the central fold, not affecting the text, illustrations or signature, otherwise VG
