Cloth, 4to, 26 cm, 255 pp, numerous ills. From the blurb - "Bruce Bairnsfather created the best known cartoon character of the First World War - "Old Bill", and he drew what many consider to be the most enduring cartoon of all time - the "Better 'Ole". To those who experienced the privations of the years 1914-1918, the value of Bairnsfather's contribution to the morale of the nation, through laughter, is without question. To many he was "the man who won the war". In this first biography of the man and his work, the authors trace his life in fascinating detail. Not only was he the first officially appointed British Officer Cartoonist, whose help was subsequently formally requested by the French,the Italians, the Americans and the Aussies. but he was also an international playwright, actor, accomplished lecturer, film producer and author.The man himself was a compelling paradox-a desperately shy person who adored the limelight; a loyal, lovable personality, ridden with suspicion; an upper class product, who was more comfortable in the company of the working man; a lonely celebrity who should have won, but lost, a fortune. Bairnsfather's work can be found on plates, cups, jugs, mugs, pots, car mascots, ashtrays and the like - all now collectors pieces. His characters appeared on postcards, playing cards, cigarette cards, jig-saw puzzles, and during World War II on the noses of the daylight bombers of the American Eighth Airforce, for which he acted as offical cartoonist. In 1978 the Canadian National Film Archives gave a showing of the film, Carry on, Sergeant! on the 50th anniversary of its world premiere. It had been the first major movie produced in Canada. Its writer and producer was Bruce Bairnsfather, and it resulted in scandal, intrigue and heavy financial loss. Nevertheless, it was a milestone in Canadian history. Tonie and Valmai Holt recount the successes, the failures, the ventures with Charles Cochran, Darryl Zanuck and Seymour Hicks; how Sydney Chaplin played Old Bill and John Mills played Young Bill; the days as 'Lord of the Manor' and bankruptcy; the episode with the actress, Constance Collier. The story is illustrated with over 150 photographs and drawings, many of them never before published, and includes a section setting out the range and the values of Bairnsfather memorabilia and collectables that can be found by assiduous collectors." Very Good in a dustwrapper with a sunned spine-panel which is torn at the foot. N° de réf. du vendeur ABE-34097

First edition quarto, 255 pages profusely illustrated in black & white. Fine red cloth hard back with a fine unclipped dust jacket. No inscriptions or marks, an excellent copy. Bruce BairnsfatherÆs cartoons were to the general public during World War I what Bill MauldinÆs cartoons were to be in World War II. His ôIf you know of a better æole ù get to itö may be the most famous cartoon of all time. His humorous portrayals of ordinary soldiers in the trenches were a great morale booster and were still serving as an inspiration years later during the dark days of the Second World War. Over the years, particularly in Britain, a vast array of Bairnsfather collectables have appeared, such as plates, cups, mugs, car mascots and ashtrays. Renowned World War I tour guides Tonie and Valmai Holt provide a heavily illustrated guide to the world of Bairnsfather collectibles, and a detailed account of the man behind the legend.
