Small original pencil drawing sketch for a book illustration, dating from the 1980s. This drawing is by illustrator Salim Patel & is part of a very large collection I have of mostly pencil & pen drawings, paintings, photos & letters. Patel was mostly a book illustrator & appeared to be working mostly between the 1960s - 90s. Very few of the works are signed or dated but many are sketches for book cover / illustrations. There is nothing online about him & he only comes up in search relating to a book that he has illustrated. From the many letters in the lot, I know he worked for many publications including the New York Times, I think this was probably cartoon drawings. I have added some images of photos & book covers in the lot, so you can see the drawing is by Salim Patel, as it isn’t signed but these are not included in the purchase. This picture is a sheet from a sketch book, its thin white paper. It is approx. 29.5cm x 21cm or A4. Condition: it has a little wear & has a little bit of white paint on it.
