EDITORS COMMENTS
In this enchanting illustration by the renowned British cartoonist David Wright, we find his beloved Daily Mail strip cartoon character, Carol Day, basking in the romantic ambiance of Florence, Italy. The year is 1962, and Carol, with her stylishly coiffed bob and captivating smile, lies in the embrace of her handsome, unseen lover. The warm, golden hues of the Italian sun filter through the bedroom window, casting a romantic glow over the scene. The kitschy, retro charm of the illustration transports us back to the 1960s, a time of love, romance, and the beginning of the jet-setting era. The couple's wedding rings glint in the sunlight, signifying their marital bliss. The room is adorned with the elegant, timeless beauty of Italian art and architecture, adding to the allure of the moment. David Wright's masterful use of line and color captures the essence of a romantic getaway, evoking feelings of longing and nostalgia. This illustration is a testament to the enduring power of love and the enchanting allure of Italy, making it a perfect addition to any collection of romantic art or a thoughtful gift for a loved one on a special occasion. The Estate of David Wright and Mary Evans Picture Library are proud to present this exquisite piece of illustrative art from the past, allowing us to relive the charm and romance of the 1960s through the eyes of one of Britain's most beloved cartoonists.
