EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the tumult and strife of the First World War, a respite could be found in the soothing world of art. John Hassall, a renowned illustrator and poster artist, invited the public to join his Correspondence Art School, an opportunity to learn the art of drawing from the comfort of one's own home. The advertisement for this educational endeavor, published in 1918, appeared in illustrated magazines as a welcome distraction from the war's grim realities. The advertisement featured an enticing offer: a free criticism of any copies sent to Hassall of the sketch of a stereotypical German officer, a popular subject during the war. This sketch, displayed prominently in the advertisement, was meant to serve as a starting point for students, encouraging them to hone their skills and express their creativity. Art schools, including correspondence courses, were increasingly popular during this time as pastimes with money-making potential. Hassall's reputation as a successful illustrator made his school an attractive option for those seeking to learn from the best. The advertisement emphasized the relaxation and mental stimulation that art provided, making it an antidote to the war strain that had gripped the nation. John Hassall's Correspondence Art School offered a unique opportunity for individuals to learn from a master artist, connect with a community of like-minded individuals, and express their creativity during a time when the world was in turmoil. The advertisement serves as a reminder of the power of art to provide solace and inspiration, even in the most challenging of times.
