Surrounding him are other notable Bystander artists and their creations, each adding to the jovial atmosphere. Wilmot Lunt's dapper gentleman, Helen McKie's elegant woman, H.H. Harris's witty dog, Arthur Watts's mischievous boy, and Herbert Pizer's wise old owl all join Old Bill in this historic moment. The date of this edition, 1919, marks the end of the war and the beginning of a new era. This masthead design encapsulates the spirit of unity and hope that emerged from the tumultuous years of conflict. The intricate detail and vibrant colors of the artwork showcase the depth and richness of the Bystander's content during this period in history.
