Object Detail
Brief Description
Original cartoon by Peter Nicholson drawn with pen and ink or watercolour paint, housed in a card mount. The drawing is in two parts, in a 'before and after' sequence. It shows a desert island with a sunken boat in the background, and two long-bearded men playing cricket, with the word "HELP" written in the sand. In the second part, the scene is the same except that a helicopter marked "POLICE RESCUE" has landed on the island, and two policemen have joined in the game of cricket. The drawing is signed and dated in the lower-right corner.
