Original notebook owned by cartoonist Timothy Birdsall, full with drawings on cover and internally - date from around 1960 - 14cmx12cm - condition: good, some rubbing to edges. Rare work with original drawings from this famed cartoonist. His name is faintly pencilled on cover.

Timothy Birdsall (10 May 1936 – 10 June 1963[1]) was an English cartoonist. Birdsall was born in London. While an undergraduate at Christ's College, Cambridge, he illustrated Granta and formed part of the late 1950s talented set which included those later to become household names, such as Peter Cook and Ian McKellen.[2] His first job was with The Sunday Times, where he did the 'Little Cartoon' on the front page. He later became more widely known for his appearances on the BBC's That Was The Week That Was, doing cartoons live in the studio with an ink-marker on paper.[3] He also contributed to Private Eye and was appointed political cartoonist to The Spectator. He regularly caricatured the then prime minister Harold Macmillan, Harold Wilson, and Lord Beaverbrook, who issued a writ against him.[4] Birdsall's cartoons satirised the Profumo scandal, besides the Church of England and rearguard Britain's faulty attempts to emerge into the 'swinging Sixties'. Illness prevented him from doing more than about twenty of these political cartoons, and he succumbed to leukaemia, aged 27. He was survived by his widow, the actress Jocelyn Britton. After his death the BBC made a tribute programme. Michael Frayn and Bamber Gascoigne organised a posthumous exhibition of his works at the William Ware Gallery in London.[5] His book illustrations include The Theatres of London (1961) by Raymond Mander and Joe Mitchenson, The Party Givers' Book (1959) by Mary Gallati, The World In My House (1960) by Joan Harborne, Really Nurse (1960) and Wake Up Nurse (1963) by Roger Brook, The Day Of The Dog (1962) by Michael Frayn, and France on Ten Words a Day (1963) by H. McCarty-Lee.

Articolo come da descrizione. Imballo accurato per quanto riguarda il libro, suggerisco però una scatola più piccola, in cui l’oggetto non possa muoversi col rischio di danneggiarsi

Helaas is er geen mogelijkheid om op te halen, en de kosten waren vantevoren bekend. Dus helaas is dit onterechte kritiek.

Everything great. Thank you

Both books were badly bumped in transit, but that is more the fault of the carrier. Otherwise, everything ok.
