LQREVS COM Mb INTERS BY SIR HENRY LUCY ILLUSTRATED BY ALMA TADEMA, ORCHARDSON, BRITON RIVIERE, BOUGHTON. FRANK DICKSEE, HER KOMER, ABBEY, PARSONS, OULESS V TENNIEL, PHIL MAY, BERNARD PARTRIDGE, LINLEY SAMBOURNE, E. T. REED SIR FRANK LOCKWOOD T. FISHER UNWIN LTD. LONDON ADELPHI TERRACE Fin published ., 1957 Second Imfmswn, if All riihk infiv. M. i 1 . PREFACE E articles forming this volume were originally published in some of the leading magazines. They may interest the passing generation familiar with the men and matters dealt with. Younger folk may gain information at first hand upon points of modern history More assured is the belief that the collection of original drawings by eminent hands scattered about the pages will command pleased attention. Lady Lucys Fan pages 56 and 64 was the result of a kindly thought of a well-known Royal Academician. He proposed to his colleagues that eaah should draw a pen-and-ink sketch on a blade of an ivory fan. The R, A. s who wel comed the idea were Alma Tadema, Frank Dicksee, Walter Ouless, Luke Fildes, Boughton, Herkomer, Edwin Abbey, Briton Riviere, Or chardson and Alfred Parsons, not yet admitted within the charmed circle. Black-and-white artists who contributed their quota were Du Maurier, Linley Sambourne, Bernard Partridge, Tenniel and Kdward Reed, all colleagues of mine on the Punch staff, and Sir Frank Lockwood. Another picture by Alma Tadema not exhibited at Burlington House will be found on page 202 Lunching tone day at Ashley Gardens, the great 11 6 LORDS AND COMMONJSKS painter turned over the menu and wrote on the back the figures thus arranged 21 15 31 These cabalistic signs having been unintelligibly studied by the company present, Tadema turned the card round, connected the figures by pencil marks, and swiftly drew a womans cap over the head thus formed. Behold a living face with eyes, nose and mouth. This looks so easy that Canon Wilberforce, Chaplain of the House of Commons, who was among the guests, asked permission to do the trick. Why, certainly, said Tadema heartily. The Canon succeeded in placing the figures all right, but when it came to drawing the oval of the face and the features he was hope lessly baffled. Perhaps the reader, if he or she tries, may be more successful. To present the other figure Tadema wrote at a certain angle the word Cohen placed a hat over it at another calculated angle, and there was an unmistakable Jewish physiognomy. I have a heap of Frank Lockwoods drawings, some herein reproduced. Observe on the dinner in vitation page 112 the skill with which the locality of the feast is indicated the man whose pocket handkerchief shows the name Brooks, a club sus pended in the air, and you know you arc expected at Brooks Club at the hour indicated on the face of the clock. Phil Mays exquisitely drawn sketch of Toby, M. P., astride a fleeing pig page 232 arose out of a widely circulated newspaper report that the Dunmow PREFACE 7 Flitch had been awarded to my wife and myself. What really happened was that, spending a week end in the country with Sir John Aird, we one day drove to Dunmow. Sir John, who on the slightest provocation found opportunity for giving something to somebody, pulled up the car at a provision shop, bought a flitch of bacon and, baring his head with courtly bow, presented it to my wife. Hence the foundation of the fable which was hymned in verse by Sir Wilfrid Lawson andLord Aberconway. From a line in the latters masterpiece Phil May drew his sketch. In the Kaisers Uniform page 136 appeared in Puanch with the following note Mr. Punch regrets to hear from a thoroughly unreliable source that some confusion has arisen at Kiel owing to the great physical resemblance between his representative on the Tantallon Castle and Has Imperial Majesty the German Emperor. In fact, doubt is expressed as to which of the two opened the Kiel Canal. The other sketches, several drawn at the lun cheon or dinner table, explain themselves...
