EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming print captures a seaside landlady in deep conversation with a prospective lodger, discussing the antics of her previous tenant. With animated gestures and a lively expression, the landlady recounts how her former lodger had the audacity to suggest taking down half of her beloved pictures from the walls. "And to crown it all," she exclaims, "she actually wanted to take half of my lovely pictures down! So I tells 'er straight, You ain't got no soul for art. I says. You're an absolute Vandyke!"
The image evokes a sense of nostalgia and history, transporting us back to a time when such interactions were commonplace in seaside boarding houses. The artist behind this delightful scene is none other than Alfred Bestall, renowned for his iconic illustrations of Rupert Bear for over thirty years.
Bestall's talent shines through in this snapshot of everyday life by the sea, capturing not just the characters but also their personalities and quirks. His work has an enduring charm that continues to captivate audiences decades after they were first created.
As we gaze upon this historical gem, we are reminded of the importance of art and creativity in our lives – something that transcends time and place. And perhaps we can even imagine ourselves as part of this whimsical world by the sea, where every picture tells a story.
