This is a reproduction of a charcoal sketch of the author Compton Mackenzie (1883-1972) originally drawn ca. 1912 in New York. The portrait is signed at the bottom “Monty MacKenzie by James Montgomery Flagg for Rutger Jewett”, and was reproduced in a magazine/periodical (not identified) from where the relevant leaf has been taken. Compton Mackenzie has in turn added a note in pen below this signature, “55 years later from Mo[n]t[?] Mackenzie to Max Begg. December 14. [19]67”. Flagg (1877-1960) was a prolific illustrator for US magazines and is probably best known for his 1917 poster intended to encourage recruitment in the United States Army during World War I: Uncle Sam pointing at the viewer with the caption "I Want YOU for U.S. Army”.
