EDITORS COMMENTS
The illustration captures a humorous moment in the midst of wartime effort, as a man and woman toil away on their new vegetable patch in Bristlewoods. The caricature by Frank Reynolds shows the couple lifting turf and planting potatoes, with the caption "Bristlewoods see it through" emphasizing their determination despite the challenges they face. In this scene, the man playfully chides his partner for slacking off, to which she responds with a witty remark about potatoes being fattening. This lighthearted exchange adds a touch of levity to their hard work, showcasing Reynolds' talent for capturing both the seriousness and humor of everyday life. Frank Reynolds, known for his caricatures and illustrations, studied at Heatherley's School of Art and had a keen eye for detail and expression. His work often reflected the social issues and events of his time, making this piece from 1939 particularly poignant in its portrayal of wartime efforts during World War II. Overall, this illustration serves as a reminder of resilience and perseverance in the face of adversity. Despite the challenges they may encounter, the characters in Bristlewoods are determined to see it through – one potato at a time.
