Framed Print of Strongman by George Ranstead
Humorous drawing on a postcard by George Ranstead, an amateur artist of the Great War who served in the Army Pay Corps, of a strong man being rejected from a competition. Ranstead was one of many soldiers of WWI who took up drawing as a hobby. His subjects range from wartime humour to pictures of pretty girls and are clearly influenced by images in the illustrated magazines of the period.
