The bidding: Was spirited. Finally the sketches, fell to Sir Alec Martin for 85 guinens (about $18).

...

Chaplin's first appearance in the role of an artist of the pencil was heralded by the announcement In Christie's catalogue "Still · Life- pencil, Charles Chaplin."

The first sketch of himself is al hat and eyes, another all boots and Janother nothing but legs. To leave no doubt as to the identity of Artist the paper is signed Charllo Chaplin"-
