A Peek into the Victorian Artist's World: Mahl's Moment of Reprieve - Cartoonist Brigadier-General Sir St John Chelsea's humorous take on artist Rundolf Blair, as depicted in the July 1897 issue of L Image magazine, features a painter (perhaps William Powell Frith himself) enjoying a well-deserved break. With a beer glass in hand and a beer jug nearby, he leans back, pencils at the ready, next to his oil on board. Fast forward to the 1910s, and Mahl trades his easel for the cockpit of a Sopwith Admiralty Type 860, proving that even the most dedicated artists need a change of scenery every now and then. Cheers to Mahl, the painter who knows how to unwind.
