by Pott, Charles L.
Offered here are are nine original pen and ink drawings, by Charles L. Pott (1865-1910), British 19th Century who appeared in Punch Magazine, including the title page with red watercolor thick circle and emanating rays surrounding the hot air ballon, and red lettering below. The drawings appear on large format artboard (about 15 x 10 inches for 8 out of 10, the other two 10 x 9 inches). Six out of ten with red/orange watercolor highlights and fill-ins. We were unable to determine if the book was ever published, but the drawings are certainly well-executed, and the fact that the publisher is given lends toward that conclusion; interestingly, the space where a title would be is blank, and instead, we find written in pencil: "SPACE for Title in Red." Each drawing has either full name signature, "Charles L. Pott," or monogram "CLP." Very good condition with occasional very light marking.
