Sketches of an 'L Guard
1899

A vintage sketch page titled "SKETCHES OF AN 'L' GUARD" with a date of October 1911, featuring a series of ink drawings of a bearded man in a uniform. The central figure is a full-body portrait, while the surrounding images show profile and rear views of the head, with one labeled "Blicker???" indicating a question about the man's gaze or expression. The artwork has a rough, expressive style and is on aged, discolored paper.
