Sketches: Voices from the Fin de siècle

Chandrakant Kashyap sent me the following email:

"your blog post reminded me of some of your sketches that i have. So sending them and i hope you will find them useful."

Naturally I had forgotten all about these sketches, all of which were drawn at the Fin de siècle.

Many thanks to Chandrakant for having carefully preserved them all these years- given the upheavals my own life has gone through during this past decade, I know I certainly couldn't have!- and for sending them to me now when finding time to sketch, or even scribble, seems like an almost inconceivable luxury.
