EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Poster-Land by renowned British artist John Hassall showcases a lively and colorful scene of visitors to London for the coronation of King Edward VII in November 1902. Hassall's artistic brilliance is on full display as he brings to life a diverse array of characters, each inspired by famous posters of the time. Among the crowd, the Colman's Mustard Girl, a beloved icon of British advertising, makes her appearance, her distinctive yellow apron and mop cap instantly recognizable. Nearby, Little Red Riding Hood, a character from a classic fairy tale, joins the throng of spectators, her cape billowing in the wind. Adding to the excitement, Dudley Hardy's famous Yellow Girl from his poster for To-Day magazine graces the scene, her radiant smile and vibrant attire drawing the eye. Two creations by the Beggarstaff Brothers also make an appearance, their distinctive flat designs adding depth and texture to the composition. This cartoon is a testament to the popularity of poster design in Britain during the early 20th century. With its lively energy and rich detail, Hassall's work continues to captivate audiences and offer a glimpse into the past. This print, from Mary Evans Prints Online, is not to be missed for those interested in the history of advertising, poster art, or the coronation of King Edward VII.
