(Fox Film Corp., 1933) Pencil, pen & ink, and gouache on 13 x 20” 2-ply illustration paper, executed and pencil-signed by Walter Plunkett of Anna May Wong’s character “Mrs. Pyke” in the Sherlock Holmes mystery A Study in Scarlet. This dates from near the beginning of Plunkett’s film work, and he rarely received screen credit until sometime later. The work was mounted into a period mat at the time, and later a modern, archival mat has been added on top. Along with Plunkett’s neat signature on recto, there is a rubber stamp on verso of Western Costume Company. Some handling and light soiling, including a 3” tear in background, but artwork remains bright and fresh, generally Fine.
