Bairnsfather, Bruce (1888-1959)

Signed by the artist, Bruce Bairnsfather (lower left). Original wartime cartoon design for a newspaper or magazine 1939-45. Pencil, pen and ink and monochrome wash, on paper laid onto board. This drawing is to be sold as seen without a frame or mount and will be delivered in a conservation standard clear polyester cover.

Sheet: 14 7/8 x 10 3/4 in. (37.7 x 27.3 cm.)

Bruce Bairnsfather was one of the most prominent British cartoonists during World War I, thanks to his cartoon character ‘Old Bill’. The cartoons starred Old Bill, an elderly British “tommy” with a walrus mustache and pipe, as well as his pals Bert and Alf. The name also served as the origin of the slang name “The Bill” for the British police, since many officers had mustaches.
