Notes
Above each drawing, there is a caption title written in blue ink, including "Queen of Athelstan," "Ben Cable," "Sir Harlequin Highkick," "Cherub of health," and one that includes a derogatory term for Roma or Romani people that is considered offensive and racist.
Title devised by cataloger.
The five drawings create a metamorphic picture consisting of one panel with a cherub's face and wings that can be transformed by sliding or folding the other four pieces over it to create different figures. -
