Gluyas Williams Had No Photograph

It's not surprising that cartoonist Gluyas Williams had no photograph on hand for a fan, so along with his autograph he provided a small cartoon self-portrait instead. This card was sold on eBay recently for $24.

Gluyas Williams's Autograph

A tip of the hat to illustrator Gluyas Williams, who signed a page in a fan's autograph album decades ago and included a caricature of himself tipping his hat.
