Meeting their Match
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a humorous illustration by the renowned British graphic artist, Cyril Kenneth Bird, better known by his pen name Fougasse. This charming print from 1935 captures the essence of a classic traffic jam in the 1930s, as a small touring car is hemmed in between large coaches and buses, all making their way to a popular match or event. The exasperated man in the car turns to his wife and quips, "I don't know what this match is, my dear, but I'm very much afraid that we shall have to go and see it." Fougasse's masterful use of line, form, and humor brings this scene to life, as the couple's determined expression and the jammed vehicles create a sense of amusement and camaraderie. The illustration is a delightful snapshot of the era, capturing the spirit of motoring and spectator culture during the 1930s. The quirky humor and clever observation of everyday life are hallmarks of Fougasse's work, making "Meeting their Match" a timeless piece that continues to resonate with audiences today. The print, which is dated 1935, is an excellent representation of the artist's unique style and sense of humor. Fougasse's ability to capture the essence of a moment and infuse it with wit and charm has made him a beloved figure in the world of graphic art. Whether you're a fan of vintage illustration, humor, or simply appreciate the artistry of the past, "Meeting their Match" is a must-have addition to any collection.
