‘Dinner to Len Hutton and his Test Team. Savoy Hotel. October 30th 1953’. Unique original pen and ink caricature/ cartoon artwork used as the menu cover for the celebratory Dinner given by Claude R. Harper at the Savoy Hotel on the 30th October 1953, highlighted with some colour, by artist Tom Webster. The cartoon shows Len Hutton with the Ashes Urn in the form of a dustbin on his head pointing at the team with the wording and illustration ‘In the cloak-room is the cap that did not drop on Len’s stumps- It has, of course, a gilt-edged peg and right down in the basement is the half-crown that lost every toss’. The cartoon, signed by Webster and dated 1953, measures 14”x18”. Excellent and iconic image. Minor age toning and wear to edges otherwise in good condition.
