EDITORS COMMENTS
This masthead from The Bystander magazine, dated 1919, showcases an ensemble of intriguing characters created by some of the publication's most frequent artistic contributors. The scene unfolds on a bustling London tube train, where the journey becomes an engaging spectacle of diverse personalities. On the far left, we encounter a stylishly dressed lady, her expression thoughtful, drawn by the skilled hand of Wilmot Lunt. Next to her, an army officer stands tall and resolute, rendered with precision by Helen McKie. A demure lady, her eyes downcast, is depicted by Lewis Baumer in the middle. The right side of the masthead comes alive with a naval officer, brimming with confidence, illustrated by Arthur Watts. But the true star of this ensemble is Old Bill, the iconic soldier character created by Captain Bruce Bairnsfather, who graces the far right corner. With his characteristic pipe clenched between his teeth and a mischievous glint in his eye, Old Bill adds a touch of humor and camaraderie to the otherwise ordinary tube train ride. This enchanting masthead offers a glimpse into the rich artistic heritage of The Bystander magazine during the aftermath of the First World War. The diverse range of characters and the skillful illustrations by these talented artists transport us back in time, offering a unique window into the history and culture of the early 20th century.
