EDITORS COMMENTS
- This intriguing title accompanies a captivating pen and ink and pencil drawing by Robin Ollington, dated 2013. The image showcases two officers in full dress uniform, their stern expressions conveying a sense of disbelief and amusement. The caption beneath their dialogue bubble adds to the humor, as they seemingly lament the fashion choice of one of their wives for the esteemed event at Ascot. The meticulously detailed drawing, signed and dated on the frame, was won as a prize in the SOFNAM (Society of Friends of the National Army Museum) Christmas raffle in the same year it was created. The caricature, a testament to Ollington's artistic skill, offers a lighthearted take on the traditional and formal atmosphere of Ascot. The officers' uniforms, adorned with intricate patterns and insignia, are rendered with remarkable precision and attention to detail. Their stern gazes and the exaggerated expression of disbelief in the dialogue bubble add a touch of humor to the otherwise formal attire. The contrast between the seriousness of the uniforms and the comical nature of the situation makes for an engaging and delightful piece of art. The drawing, brought to life by the skilled hand of Robin Ollington, invites the viewer to ponder the unexpected and perhaps even ghastly fashion choices that may arise at events such as Ascot. It serves as a reminder that even in the most formal of settings, there is always room for a bit of humor and lightheartedness.
