John Leech n.p., n.d. John Leech, "Punch" Cartoonist, Original Signed Watercolor and Ink Cartoon Signed art A charming hand-painted, captioned and signed cartoon on cardstock titled "Salmon Fishing," no place or date. The image itself measures 10" x 7.75", with overall dimensions of 12.5" x 10". Signed with initials "JL" at left corner of image. Light offsetting from prior framing and bearing light foxed spots, but overall in very good condition. The blank margin exhibits some damage, soiling and pencil notations, easily matted-out. This delicately-drawn and lighthearted cartoon shows two men salmon fishing. The cannier of the two sits on a rock on shore with a crook rather than a fishing pole school; he schools the surprised gentleman in the water: "I say! Old boy mind how you wade hereabouts; there are some tremendous holes, 14 or 15 feet deep." John Leech (1817-1864) was an English cartoonist and illustrator who made his name in creating cartoons for "Punch," for his cartoons about the Crimean War, which did much to sway the public's attitude towards Britain, and for his Illustrations for Charles Dickens' classic work, "A Christmas Tale." This item comes with a Certificate from John Reznikoff, a premier authenticator for both major 3rd party authentication services, PSA and JSA (James Spence Authentications), as well as numerous auction houses.
