Sailor Laddie 1903 Pen and Ink Drawing custom sign I love the way it

I love the way it looks as it is

but also find them super handy--great as catchalls for keys

I'm thinking it would be pretty great perched above a mailbox

Certainly this piece dates to the 19th century

Sailor Laddie 1903 Pen and Ink Drawing custom sign I love the way itWhen I first saw this drawing I thought the caption read "Sailor Daddie", which happily lends is another dimension! Just a great drawing I think, complete with little sailboat at his feet and HMS on his cap (for His or Her Majesty's Ship) making one assume it is British. Initialed EMB it appears and dated 1903 at lower right. 7 7 8" x 6 1 2". Very good antique condition, with a little age toning around the edges and a few small stains here and there.
