A delightful pen and ink drawing (121x136mm.) with highlights in Chinese white of a tiger crawling through undergrowth, signed "R.E. Holding - March 1891" and mounted in a modern card frame; the picture is fine though on back cover the edges are damaged due to removal from the original mount. Photo
