Biographie de l'auteur

John Wilton was born in 1942 and educated at St Hugh s and St Edmund s College, Ware. After a short spell in the Army, he entered teaching and worked in Berkshire, Dorset and East Sussex. His interest in history and postcards arose because of taking a University of Southampton course and a gift of picture postcards of Eastbourne. He has written four books of Eastbourne seen through picture postcards and given numerous presentations on the subject. A chance find of a number of McGill cards in an antiques shop in Wales led to an interest in McGill s work, a collection of several thousand of his cards, many talks and this book.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Life during the Great War as illustrated by the maestro of double entendres Donald McGill. In this collection John Wilton has given a narrative to the topics covered by the artist such as conscription, allotments, lice, mocking the enemy and life at the front - where often these cartoons reflected the sentiments as those who wrote on then. A delightful snapshot of homelife in Edwardian Britain to amuse and delight historians and postcard collectors.
