Here are two pages from an autograph book belonging to one Joan, who was fortunate enough to obtain a signed and inscribed drawing by Ronald Searle of a St. Trinian's girl in September of 1955. There are also drawings by Rolf Harris and Reginald Jeffreys,as well as an autograph of Steve Race. The sheets have been torn out of the album perhaps somewhat hastily, and for years it seems the book's weak binding was reinforced with clear--now discolored--tape across the pages. So it's not in the best condition, but the St. Trinian's girl, frowning and bored, is, without question, the prize.
Note: My previous post on Ronald Searle can be found here.
