EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, Welsh composer, singer, and actor Ivor Novello (1893-1951) is seen sharing a light-hearted moment with Swedish cartoonist and caricaturist Einar Nerman (1888-1983) in 1930. The image captures the essence of a unique collaboration between two creative minds of their time. Ivor Novello, born David Ivor Davies, was a renowned figure in the entertainment industry, known for his contributions as a composer, singer, and actor. His works, including the popular song "Keep the Home Fires Burning," brought him widespread acclaim. In this instance, Novello was writing the foreword to a book of Nerman's sketches, titled "Darlings of the Gods," which had originally been published in The Tatler. Einar Nerman, a celebrated cartoonist and caricaturist, was known for his distinctive style and ability to capture the essence of his subjects with wit and humor. His sketches, which often featured famous personalities of the day, were widely popular and showcased his exceptional artistic talent. The photograph offers a glimpse into the creative world of these two remarkable individuals, who came together to bring their unique perspectives to the pages of "Darlings of the Gods." The book, published by Alston Rivers, showcases Nerman's caricatures alongside Novello's insightful commentary, offering readers an entertaining and insightful look into the lives of the celebrities of the 1930s. This photograph, taken in 1930, is a testament to the power of collaboration and the enduring appeal of the arts. It serves as a reminder of the creative synergy that can emerge when individuals from different artistic backgrounds come together to share their talents and inspire one another.
