Original signed ink sketch of Colonel Thomas Newcome from his 1855 novel The Newcomes on an off-white 4 x 5.75 sheet, initialed at the bottom with his interlocking “WMT.” Sketch is also lightly labeled in pencil in an unknown hand at the upper left. Matted and framed to an overall size of 9.25 x 13.75. Taped to the reverse of the frame is an original gallery label from well-regarded Boston art dealer Hyman Swetzoff, from whom the sketch was purchased in the early 1950s. In fine condition, with three light horizontal folds and Thackeray’s initials a shade or two light. Artwork from the renowned author is seldom encountered.
