Annual Buyers Call Gentlemen Guardsmen Guide Meeting Hailstone

EDITORS COMMENTS
- A Humorous Illustration from the 1930s This delightful and humorous illustration, titled "And Whatever You Do, Don't Call Me Alf!", captures the essence of a lively scene from the 1930s. The image shows a group of well-dressed gentlemen engaged in a heated discussion at the top of some grand town steps. The seriousness of their conversation is in stark contrast to the amused expressions of the onlookers below, including a crowd of people and a line of guardsmen. The illustration, from the March of the Women Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, is believed to date back to circa 1939. The setting and fashionable attire of the characters suggest an air of sophistication and elegance, typical of the era. However, the title of the illustration and the playful expressions of the gentlemen add an element of humor and intrigue. The illustration could be the cover art for an advertising poster or an annual buyers' guide. The title, "And Whatever You Do, Don't Call Me Alf!" implies a secret or a nickname, adding to the mystery of the scene. The use of hailstone, a traditional printing technique, adds texture and depth to the image, making it a charming addition to any vintage collection. Overall, this illustration is a wonderful representation of the 1930s, capturing the spirit of the time through its humor, elegance, and intrigue. Whether used as a decorative piece or as a conversation starter, this illustration is sure to bring a smile to anyone's face.
