EDITORS COMMENTS
This lively and humorous illustration by renowned British satirical artist Fougasse, born Cyril Kenneth Bird (1887-1965), captures the intensity and chaos of a rugby scrum in full color. Dated 21st February 1934, this image was published in the Illustrated London News (ILN) and showcases Fougasse's exceptional talent for caricature and visual wit. In the scrum, a group of rugby players are locked in a tight struggle for possession of the ball. The cacophony of voices is palpable as each player vies for control, with a chorus of "blast you, Sir!" echoing through the scene. The players' facial expressions and body language convey a sense of determination, frustration, and even humor, as they grapple with one another in the muddy scrum. Fougasse's masterful use of color and composition adds depth and energy to the illustration. The players' uniforms, the ball, and the muddy ground are rendered in rich, vibrant hues, while the dynamic angles and perspectives create a sense of movement and action. This full-color illustration is a testament to Fougasse's ability to capture the spirit of a moment and infuse it with humor and energy. As one of the most celebrated British satirical artists of the 20th century, Fougasse's work continues to be admired for its wit, insight, and visual brilliance. This illustration of a rugby scrum is a prime example of his ability to bring everyday life to life with humor and charm.
