EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and nostalgic print captures the essence of the Boy Scouts movement in 1929. Titled "A Scout is Thrifty" it showcases an English School's colour litho illustration from a series of cigarette cards produced by Ogdens. The image portrays the Ninth Scout Law, emphasizing the value of thriftiness. In this heartwarming scene, a young boy scout sits attentively while sewing, embodying the ideals of trustworthiness and usefulness. The cheerful expression on his face reflects his commitment to making do and mending, as well as his dedication to moral values such as friendship, loyalty, and duty. The vintage card serves not only as an advertisement but also as a reminder of the importance of marketing carefulness and discipline among scouts. It encourages them to embrace their role in society by performing good deeds, repairing what needs fixing, and caring for others. With its timeless charm and historical significance, this print transports us back to a simpler time when children embraced responsibility with enthusiasm. It symbolizes the enduring legacy of scouting principles that have shaped countless lives throughout the twentieth century. Displayed proudly in private collections today, this artwork continues to inspire generations with its message: A Scout is Thrifty – always ready to save resources while fulfilling promises and helping those in need.
