TQS on an off-white 8.5 x 11 sheet, signed at the bottom in blue ballpoint by Christie. A portion of Chapter Seven of By the Pricking of my Thumb, beginning, “As in most of the rural districts of England, signposts were plentiful, bearing names that Tuppence had never heard of, and seldom seeming to lead to the place in question. There seemed to be a certain cunning about this part of the road system of England. The road would twist off from the canal, and when you pressed on hopefully to where you thought the canal might have taken itself, you drew a blank.” Accompanied by a letter from Christie’s husband Max Mallowan, acknowledging the sent quote. Small block of toning to bottom blank area, which could be matted out, and scattered light creases and wrinkles, otherwise fine condition. RRAuction COA.
