Big Man - "I Say You've Had A Narrow Escape, I Just Caught Someone Tying Your Car To My Dog's Tail"
Signed pen and ink drawing of a capped, gaitered and moustachioed rather burly fellow with a St. Bernard dog addressing a bespectacled man as he comes out of a pub. The latter's Austin Seven Chummy stands behind the dog, with two urchins looking on. There is a printed title label in the lower margin of the mount which also states that this was artwork for The Humorist magazine, although not dated. Unframed, but double-mounted. Image size 22.5 x 32.5cm. Good condition except for slight browning along the lower edge, below the artist's signature.
