EDITORS COMMENTS
Bonzo Wants His Money Back" is a humorous and timeless illustration by the British artist George Studdy, created in 1923. The image depicts a playful and mischievous Bonzo dog, dressed in a bowler hat and carrying a briefcase, as he gazes disapprovingly at the crowded and uncomfortable scene unfolding around him on a London Underground train during rush hour. The illustration captures the discomfort and frustration of travelling in the underground during peak hours, where passengers are hemmed in by the feet and umbrellas of those around them. Bonzo, with his expressive face and human-like posture, seems to embody the feelings of many commuters who have paid their fare only to be cramped in a crowded train car. Despite the discomfort, Bonzo's determined expression and the title of the illustration suggest that he is not going to take this lying down. The image is a testament to the enduring humour and wit of Studdy's work, which often featured animals in human situations. The illustration is a reminder of the challenges and inconveniences of urban transport, but also of the resilience and sense of humour that city dwellers often need to navigate their daily commutes. With its charming and nostalgic depiction of London life over 100 years ago, "Bonzo Wants His Money Back" continues to delight and amuse audiences today. This print is part of the extensive archive of George Studdy's work held by Mary Evans Picture Library, and is a must-have for anyone interested in British humour, illustration, or the history of urban transport.
