This half-length drawing could be of a date with the whole-length NPG 3500 of circa 1919, but it might have been drawn for Furniss’s later publication, The Two Pins Club (1925), using the earlier caricature as a basis. [1] The figures are close, but NPG 3501 is more freely drawn (apparently with no underdrawing or pentimenti), and the head more extremely absurd. The two drawings are also on different pieces of Bristol card.
