“Why did you not send word by your man?”

Love this sketch by Isaac Robert Cruikshank (son of Isaac, brother of George - all successful caricaturists) at the bottom of a letter - what was probably a sketch of less than a minute drips with sarcastic gesture.

Letter in the special collections of the Getty Research Institute.
