EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the legendary British cartoonist and illustrator, Captain Bruce Bairnsfather, in the midst of creating a new drawing of his iconic character, Old Bill, in 1939. Known for his inimitable wit and humor, Bairnsfather's work played a significant role in boosting morale during the First World War. Old Bill, a grizzled, pipe-smoking soldier, was a beloved character that resonated with the British public, reflecting their experiences and emotions during the conflict. Bairnsfather's talent for capturing the essence of the common soldier's life, with its hardships, camaraderie, and humor, struck a chord with the public. His work appeared regularly in publications such as The Bystander, The Sphere, and The Tatler, bringing a touch of levity to the harsh realities of war. In this image, Bairnsfather is deeply engrossed in his drawing, his expression reflecting the intense concentration required to bring Old Bill to life on the page. The pipe clenched between his teeth is a testament to the long hours spent in the pursuit of artistic perfection. The photograph offers a rare glimpse into the creative process of a man whose work would become synonymous with British wartime spirit. As the world braced for the impending threat of the Second World War, Bairnsfather's artwork continued to provide a source of comfort and inspiration, reminding the British people of their resilience and the importance of maintaining a sense of humor in the face of adversity.
