About this work

This is a late 1800s pen and ink drawing by Alick P.F. Ritchie. It shows Harry Pleon singing about “The Boxing Kangaroo at the Pavilion and Tivoli.” The sketch was made to be printed in a weekly newspaper. The paper cost one penny and ran for decades. Ritchie drew the scene for reproduction, not for a gallery wall. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum.
