American artist Garth Williams' preliminary illustration for beloved 1952 children's book ''Charlotte's Web.'' In this pencil drawing, Fern, who is based on Williams' own daughter, tries to keep her surprised father from killing the pig who would become her pet, Wilbur. At this stage, Williams is trying different positions for an undetailed figure of Fern. Williams initials the 8.5'' x 11'' drawing ''GW'' and adds ''#1'' in a circle in the upper right. The drawing, numbered ''3.16333'' on the verso, shows minor creasing, else near fine.
