A Playful Tribute to the 1934 Royal Wedding: Lawson Wood's 'Granpop Makes Whoopee' In the whimsical world of British illustrator Lawson Wood, even orangutans and their animal friends couldn't resist the excitement of the 1934 royal wedding between Prince George, Duke of Kent, and Princess Marina of Greece. Wood's beloved character, Granpop, dons his tallest stilts to join in the festivities, bringing a touch of humour and playfulness to this historic event. Granpop, an orangutan with a mischievous grin, proudly strides forward, his long, spindly legs bending at the knees as he balances precariously on the stilts. His pig and monkey friends gather around him, eager to join in the fun. One monkey holds a bright red pogo stick, while another playfully swings an inflatable hoop above their heads. The scene exudes a sense of joyous celebration, as if to say that even the most unlikely creatures couldn't help but be swept up in the royal wedding fever. The makeshift whoopee party takes place amidst a backdrop of colourful bunting and paper lanterns, adding to the festive atmosphere. Wood's illustration, titled 'Granpop Makes Whoopee,' is a testament to the artist's ability to capture the spirit of an event and infuse it with his unique brand of humour and whimsy. This delightful image, a tribute to the royal wedding, remains a cherished piece of history and a reminder of the playful, carefree nature of the times.
