Measures - by The Yard and Stealthy Departure of the Night Club Squad from Bow Street
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating caricature illustration created by the talented British artist, Batchelor, in 1925. This humorous work of art transports us back to the 1920s, an era of flapper dresses, jazz music, and speakeasies. The illustration showcases a group of policemen in top hats and evening dress suits, making their way past the Bow Street police station. Their furtive glances and clandestine demeanor suggest they are part of the Night Club Squad, a secretive unit responsible for enforcing morality and order in the city's nightlife scene. The caption, "Measures - by The Yard," adds an element of humor to the scene. It implies that these officers are taking precise and meticulous actions to maintain law and order, "by the yard," as the term "measures" can also mean taking careful steps or actions. Despite their formal attire, the policemen's expressions and body language convey a sense of stealth and urgency, as if they are trying to avoid detection. Batchelor's use of exaggerated features and caricatured expressions adds to the overall humor and charm of the illustration. This work of art is a testament to Batchelor's skill as an illustrator and his ability to capture the essence of the 1920s. It offers a humorous and insightful look into the world of law enforcement during this era, and remains a fascinating piece of social history.
