Description:
Ryde, Isle of Wight: Greaves & Thomas, 2014.. 1st edition. "Donald McGill is the greatest and most famous British comic postcard artist of all time....The book explains how a man from a very straight-laced and highly respectable Victorian background virtually created and came to be associated with thr saucy seaside postcard. It describes his skirmishes with the censors and the law, culminating in a show trial in 1954...This assocuation with the saucy does a great disservice to his work...of which the risque was but a small part, and which illustrated and documentedmany different aspects of British society during the first half of the twentieth century." 30.5cms x 21cms x 2cms. Pp.xii/152, 70 colour and black & white illustrations, signed by Bernard Crossley to title page. Blue boards with gilt illustration to front and gilt title to spine. Dustwrapper not price-clipped.
