Signature and Sketch.
This pioneering Canadian illustrator and author appeared in "St. Nicholas Magazine" often, where his "Brownies" often appeared; they debuted in book form in "The Brownies, Their Book" in 1887, appearing in a dozen volumes with titles such as "The Brownies Abroad" and "The Brownies Around the World." Delightful ink sketch of a typical brownie head-and-shoulders portrait within a 3/4" diameter circle in black ink at upper left of a heavy stock 3½" X 2" card, and Cox's large handsome signature in brown ink at center. Fine. Accompanied by a 7" X 9" glossy book portrait of Cox (with facsimile signature and "Yours in Brownieland" inscription below), a leaf from the June 1894 "Book News Portraits" (No. 97, Volume 12). Fine. An outstanding pair, ideal for display. Item #28557
