Caption title.
Original drawing for an illustration for G.K. Chesterton's short story "The god of the gongs," from The wisdom of Father Brown; as the story first appeared with Sullivan's illustrations in the Pall Mall magazine, Sept., 1914.
Signed and dated at bottom right, "Edmund J. Sullivan. 1914"; inscribed in ink at bottom, "The God of the Gongs. (G.K. Chesterton) The head wore a disconcerted expression, as did, perhaps, that of St. John the Baptist."; in left hand margin, in pencil, "120 screen over all P.T.O."; pencil marks specifying width of printed illustration at top.
Drawing shows the interior of a bandstand, where Flambeau stands looking down in surprise at the upturned head of Father Brown, who has just fallen through the floorboards.
