Pen and ink drawing of George Horatio Derby

Manuscripts

This manuscript is a hand-drawn caricature of American humorist and soldier George Horatio Derby, drawn by an unknown artist. The profile image of Derby is wearing what appears to be military dress, and has something of a sly expression on his face. A handwritten caption reads "Derby the married man," and "1854" is written just beneath the drawing.
