RELATED LITERATURE:
E. McCausland, The Life and Work of Edward Lamson Henry N.A. 1841-1919, Albany, 1945, p. 217, no. 334
Henry had a sense of humor and did a number of caricatures, although few are extant. In a letter dated November 2, 1983, Jan P. Christman states that they were most probably done for his own enjoyment and were not publicly circulated. Apparently, this subject was a source of fascination for Henry. The New York State Museum has a Henry drawing of women's hats executed while the artist was on a train trip. McCausland also makes reference to a caricature entitled private view of the Natnl (sic) Academy Exhibtn (sic) showing the Absurdities in Dress. A copy of Ms. Chirstman's letter accompanies the lot.
