Watercolour caricature of Joy Laurey and Mr Turnip — “Some offspring on the way, Mr Turnip!”
Original watercolour caricature on a black paper support. The central illustration depicts Joy Laurey in profile, seated at a table with papers and a small puppet figure identified as Mr Turnip. A red chair, studio-like table setting and a sheet headed “NEW CREATIONS” are visible. Hand-lettered speech balloons read “Some offspring on the way Mr. Turnip!” and “Well! I be all strung up!” A white handwritten caption below describes her as the creator of television’s famous Mr Turnip, constantly evolving new puppet stars.
