The initials P.W. appear In the bottom right corner of the drawing.This part is rendered in ink and enclosed within hand drawn frame. Handwritten below the frame in pencil is the comment:Excellent- think title “BLIND DATE” should be bigger, bolder, dressier. Add “BY” John Windsor.At the topmost part of the paper, there is a pencil sketch of a tank, and a comment: “NO” with an arrow pointing to the ink-drawn tank within the frame.
