[Mathias Sandor, Hungarian-born American artist.] Original artwork: miniature graphite drawing of an attractive fin-de-siècle woman, heading an Autograph Note Signed ('Mathiás Sándor') to 'Mr Howes Norris Jr', responding to request for autograph.

1p, 12mo. In good condition, lightly aged, with minor traces of glue from mount on blank reverse. Central horizontal fold, not affecting the drawing. Sandor was clearly a generous fellow, and Norris was a lucky one. Sandor has responded to a request for an autograph by sending a note topped by an attractive miniature graphite drawing of the head and shoulders of an 1890s young lady, more subtle than a 'Gibson Girl', staring quizzically with the distinctive hairstyle of the period. Beneath the drawing he writes: 'Mr Howes Norris Jr | Dear Sir | It is flattering to me [last word underlined] to be asked for my autograph. Your letter of the 17 of this month is the first I have received from you | Yours truly | Mathiás Sándor'. A collection of Howes Norris Jr's cartoons is at Syracuse University.
