Pen and ink cartoon caricature on poster-size artist board, by William “Norman” Ritchie, drawn in 1915.

The central image shows a stylish woman with dozens of parcels protruding from the over-stuffed pockets of her outergarments. The item measures fifteen by eleven and a half inches, and is signed “Norman” at the bottom center.
