Descripción

Oblong 4to., First Edition thus, with many full-page illustrations (one cartoon partly and neatly coloured by a child); original pictorial boards, cloth back, front board (which is largely white) very lightly age-soiled else a very good, clean copy of a work increasingly hard to find in this condition. Of all David Low's work, this is perhaps the undisputed classic. Some opt instead for Low's War Cartoons (1941) which undoubtedly reflects the spirit of the times; it seems to us, however, that the present work is to be preferred simply because in covering the years 1932-35 it embraces precisely the period which gave Low the opportunity to sharpen his barb in the face of what seemed to him both government and public apathy. The creation of Colonel Blimp alone makes this a true classic of pre-war illustration. Horne, p.296 et seq.
