Blank greetings card with envelope featuring:

William Makepeace Thackeray NPG 3925

© National Portrait Gallery, London

by Sir Edwin Landseer

This late drawing of the novelist W M Thackeray working by candlelight is a relatively rare example of Landseer producing caricatures of members of his literary circle rather than his aristocratic friends. Thackeray had regularly satirised Landseer's exhibits at the Royal Academy but they became friends in later years. Not long after this drawing, Landseer contributed an illustration of a black sheep for Thackeray's novel Lovel the Widower, published in the Cornhill Magazine, 1860.
