Garth Williams' hand-drawn sketch of Wilbur, the swinish protagonist from E.B. White's ''Charlotte's Web.'' Williams initials ''GW'' to the lower right. Williams' pencil strokes culminate in two renderings of a hopeless Wilbur curled on the page. They are refined to become Illustration #11 in the much-adored book about a spider named Charlotte who weaves pleas for help into her webs in an effort to spare Wilbur from slaughter. Measures 8.5'' x 11''. Fine.
