In this photo print, we are transported back to the 1930s, where the talented Welsh composer, singer, and actor Ivor Novello takes center stage. With a cigarette in hand and an air of sophistication surrounding him, Novello sits at the piano with utmost concentration. The lines etched on his face reveal the dedication it takes for him to compose a score. The caption cleverly juxtaposes Novello's creative process with Booths Gin's ability to ignite a quarrel within two minutes. It humorously suggests that while Novello spends hours crafting beautiful melodies, Booths Gin can stir up emotions much more quickly. This playful advertisement from Dorland Advertising Ltd captures both the allure of alcohol and the world of entertainment during that era. Novello himself is portrayed as a quintessential artist - brooding yet elegant - embodying the spirit of creativity. His posture exudes confidence as he rests one hand on his head in contemplation.
