An autographed card with a drawing of a woman's head and neck was signed by Ronald Searle and dated January of 1960. Removed from its matte, it was sold over the summer on eBay by a seller who asserts it belonged to "a great friend of Ronald Searle." If so, it seems somewhat impersonal, bearing no dedication.

The drawing is somewhat reminiscent of Searle's cover for Graphis 80 published in 1958. The seller's suggestion that the figure is "possibly in drag" seems unlikely to reflect Searle's intent.
