Manuscrit / Papier ancien
On shiny photographic paper, dimensions 80 x 70 cm. Laid down on light-blue paper removed from autograph album. Very good. A surprised Robey peeps out from behind a wall, with bowler hat and cane, and heavily made-up eyebrows. The image carries a small facsimile signature reading ''Good wishes | Geor. Robey'. Beneath this, much larger is the genuine signature: 'Geor Robey.'.

Manuscrit / Papier ancien
On one side of page removed from autograph album, roughly 14 x 18 cm. Very good, on lightly-aged paper. An accomplished head-and-shoulders self-caricature, with Robey directly facing the viewer, his eyes to his right, a smile on his face, a red nose, the customary tiny hat perched on his head with tufts of hair sticking out over the ears, long neck and collarless shirt. Good, firm signature in bottom left-hand corner: 'Geo. Robey.' Also included is a newspaper cutting of a photograph of Robey. The National Portrait Gallery owns five of Robey's self-caricatures.

George Robey writes to novelist Hall Caine profusely thanking him for sending him the manuscript of an Address to be read at the charity event, and for having it bound for auction. "I have asked [Mr. Sutcliffe] to be kind enough to let you have it first, in order that you may put your signature on the title page.I will get Miss Vanbrugh [who is to read the address] to sign it on Sunday, and also put my own name and any other people connected with the concert who may be of interest.I feel sure that in addition to helping the collection that night your generous gift will realise a large sum on its own account."George Robey [1869-1954], English comedian, singer and actor in musical comedy, is regarded as one of the greatest music hall performers of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
