EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating illustration from The Bystander magazine, published in 1918 during the height of the First World War. This humorous cartoon, created by some of the magazine's most regular artistic contributors, showcases a unique moment of recognition between soldiers and civilians. On the left side of the image, we see a lady, elegantly dressed and seemingly amused, sketched by Wilmot Lunt. Next to her, an army officer, portrayed by Helen McKie, looks at the scene with a smirk. A lady, drawn by Lewis Baumer, is seen covering her mouth in laughter, while a naval officer, illustrated by Arthur Watts, joins in the merriment. The focus of their amusement is on the far right, where Old Bill, the famous soldier character created by Captain Bruce Bairnsfather, stands in confusion. The title of the illustration, "Recognised!", suggests that the soldiers and civilians have identified Old Bill, and he has, in turn, realized that he has been recognized. This charming illustration offers a glimpse into the camaraderie and shared experiences between soldiers and civilians during the war. The diverse group of characters, each with their distinct personalities, adds to the humor and relatability of the scene. The illustration is a testament to the power of recognition and the human connection that transcends the boundaries of war. Originally published in The Bystander, this illustration is now available as a print from Mary Evans Prints Online, offering a unique piece of historical artwork that captures the spirit of the First World War era.
