1921: A Glimpse into the Past through the Pages of The Sketch and the Illustrations of E.H. Shepard The front cover of The Sketch, dated 19 October 1921, presents a captivating illustration by the renowned English artist, E.H. Shepard. This particular issue of The Sketch clarifies its distinction from the Daily Sketch, emphasizing that it has "no connection whatsoever" with the daily newspaper. The illustration on the cover depicts a woman in an elegant, flowing dress, standing by a tranquil table set against the backdrop of a picturesque landscape. She holds a bouquet of flowers in her left hand, gazing off into the distance with a thoughtful expression. The scene is set in the quaint village of Malvern, with a serene lake and rolling hills in the background. The table is adorned with various items, including a Spinet piano, a bottle of Apollinaris water, and a plate of Jelloids, a popular dessert of the time. The woman smokes a cigarette, adding an air of sophistication to the scene. In the foreground, an iron sits on the table, hinting at the domestic tasks that may have preceded this moment of relaxation. The cover design also features several advertisements, including one for "Burrows' Malvern Water," which promises to "restore vitality and energy." The overall effect of the cover is one of tranquility and relaxation, transporting us back in time to a simpler era. This illustration by E.H. Shepard provides a glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the lives of the people of 1921 and the world they inhabited. The Sketch, with its beautiful illustrations and engaging content, continues to captivate audiences even today, offering a window into the past.
