Description: | appeal in the form of a letter illustrated with a caricature of Orpen as a begging street artist, sitting against a wall and holding out a cap. Text reads: Dear Sir, Please forgive me, I am writing for money. I am begging! I know it, and I don't like it! But I've got to, as I have been elected by the Arts Club, London, to act for them as Steward, for The Artist's General Benevolent Institution 1928.9. Which really means, collect all the money I can for this worthy charity. Will you help me? Yes please! Yours very sincerely, William Orpen. N.B. All cheques to be made payable to me, please. | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Orpen, William (Sir) (RA) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=6631... | Go to resource |
