William McConnell
1854 a coloured visiting card (91x60mm) designed as an envelope with his portrait in place of the queen with the legend "Artist on wood"; some glue marks on the reverse, otherwise a fine example of this artist's humorous nature. Also a group of pencil or watercolour studies of characters (mostly female) from "Regent Street" or London and elsewhere dated 1861-62. A charming group. Photo

William McConnell (1833–1867) was an English illustrator and cartoonist. He became known as a young man as a draughtsman on wood of illustrations. Suffering from poor health, he was supported in his last days by brother artists, and died of consumption in London
