Original ink sketch of a heavy-set fellow in a double-breasted suit accomplished by Fulton on an off-white 6 x 7 sheet, titled below, "Mr. McIvers," and signed and dated with his initials,"R. F., 1813." In fine condition. Though perhaps best known for his invention of the steamboat, Fulton also developed and designed naval weaponry for several nations—namely France, England, and America—thus making him quite adept at drawing and sketching. As an original sketch from the hand of an globally influential inventor, this is an exceedingly desirable piece from a renowned innovator of man and machine.
