EDITORS COMMENTS
This masthead design for The Bystander, created by renowned British graphic artist Tony Castle in 1930, transports us back to a bygone era of sun, sea, and carefree holidays. The image features a delightful array of stylish and beautiful women, each dressed in fashionable bathing suits, sun hats, and holding parasols. The women are lounging on deck chairs, basking in the sun and enjoying the tranquility of the seaside. The design is a stunning example of the Art Deco style that was popular during the 1920s and 1930s. The use of bold lines, geometric shapes, and vibrant colors perfectly capture the essence of the era. The women's bathing suits, with their high-waisted bottoms and halternecks, are reminiscent of the fashion trends of the time. Tony Castle was a prolific graphic artist and designer, known for his work on magazines, advertisements, and posters. His designs for The Bystander were a regular feature of the publication throughout the 1930s. This masthead design, in particular, is a testament to his artistic talent and his ability to capture the spirit of the times. The image is a delightful reminder of the holiday traditions of the past, and the simple pleasures of a day at the beach. It invites us to imagine the sun on our faces, the sound of the waves crashing on the shore, and the feeling of sand between our toes. This beautiful masthead design is not only a work of art but also a window into the history of the 1930s and the way people spent their leisure time during that era.
