A respectable Victorian gentleman,
Donald McGill, spent virtually the whole of his life creating
colour-washed drawings which were reproduced as postcards and sold
in millions from 1904 until the mid-1960s. McGill was, and
remains, 'the king of the saucy postcard', still collected and
appreciated today for his artistic skill, power of social
observation and rumbustious humour.
The World of Donald McGill tells
the story of McGill's life and takes a light-hearted look at the
development of his work in its social context. Over 200 postcards
are shown in full colour, including early and less well-known
ones.
Condition:
Fine hardback in fine protected
dustwrapper.
