Pen and ink sketch, with blue pencil crayons highlights, created for publication in an illustrated newspaper or magazine, probably The Penny Illustrated Press. The sketch is not dated but was drawn by A.J.Finberg and has been signed by the artist in the bottom right hand corner. It appear shows a group of people, men, women and children seated on, or standing by,a bench. In the centre is a young boy who seems to be playing an instrument, possibly a xylophone.
This item is one of several theatrical drawings from a collection of sketches commissioned from contemporary artists to be printed in illustrated magazines. The collection was donated to the museum by Sir William James Ingram in 1914.
