Framed Print of No Joke! by Captain Bruce Bairnsfather post- WW1 cartoon
The Censor has been most kind to me throughout the war. I have made the above drawing simply out of gratitude. I have also omitted the joke, thus ensuring complete approval. A typical cartoon of trench life by Bruce Bairnsfather, with various notes (from an imaginary censor) criticising various aspects of the drawing from the out of date rifle to the joke being shared between the two Tommies. Date: 1919. Mary Evans Picture Library makes available wonderful images created for people to enjoy over the centuries. © Illustrated London News Ltd/Mary Evans
