William Makepeace Thackeray (1811–1863)
Thackeray drew portraits of several of his friends and family, including Charles Dickens, George Cruikshank, Mrs. Brookfield, and Mr. Brookfield—as well as one self-portrait—on these small ivory tablets. He appears to have kept it as a pocket-sized personal keepsake; the “cover” tablet bears his monogram.
