This is a pen and ink drawing of Thorpe published as a 9 x 12-inch supplement to the New York Evening News in 1914. To my knowledge, it is the only known example. The supplements were created by Larry Semon, a cartoonist that later became a Hollywood slapstick comic and international silent film superstar.
A profile and all supplements of the set can be found at:
