^#683 ^Lot 715 Will Elder

Original signed ink sketch of Little Annie Fannie wearing a tight-fitting and revealing tank top, lamenting, “So sorry you have to see me this way. I’m only half finished. Mr. Elder stepped out for lunch and hasn’t been seen since!!” on an off-white 5 x 7 board. A thin white sheet taped over the sketch bears a brief ALS, dated December 10, 1998: “Words cannot express my emotions within me, so please accept instead a color sketch of our heroine Annie!” A faint scratch to the board, a protective transparent sheet taped to top edge of card, and some light creasing to the letter, otherwise fine condition.
