Pen & ink & wash on paper, one 12.5 x 14cm; four 10.5 x 6cm; one smaller image torn with loss to right margin & with three internal holes, one other with creasing to right margin. Unsigned but undoubtedly by Robert Cruikshank; the larger image in his very distinctive style used in his illustrations for the Toy Theatre.
