The image showcases a man in a traditional tartan kilt, puffing vigorously into his gas supply with the hope of reducing his household bills. His curious and amused son looks on, dressed in a similar kilt, as they tackle the age-old problem of managing utility expenses. The illustration, created by Lawson Wood in 1957, is a testament to the thrifty and frugal spirit of the Scottish people. Wood's humorous take on the situation adds an element of lightheartedness to the common household struggle of trying to save a few pennies. Lawson Wood, a renowned Scottish artist born in 1878, was known for his ability to capture the essence of everyday life with a touch of humor. This illustration, in particular, showcases his talent for depicting the unique quirks and traditions of Scottish culture.
