American humorist and author (1894-1961) best known for such stories as The Secret Life of Walter Mitty and for his distinctive, wittily captioned cartoon drawings published in the New Yorker. Original sketch of a dog in profile by James Thurber, accomplished in black ink on an off-white 7 x 6.25 sheet of New Yorker stationery, signed and inscribed at the bottom, "For JAB, Feb 16, 1937, Sincerely, James Thurber." In fine condition, with a central horizontal fold. A wonderful canine-inspired sketch that looks remarkably similar to the dog found on the front cover of his 1955 book, Thurber's Dogs: A Collection of the Master's Dogs, Written and Drawn, Real and Imaginary, Living and Long Ago.
