Edgar Wilson worked as a print maker and illustrator, mostly for lively and comic periodicals such as The Butterfly, The Idler and Pick Me Up.  Strongly influenced by Japanese art he had a highly decorative, aesthetic and individual style.  A fragmented label on the reverse suggests this drawing was executed and published in 1898.
