The Arts Society Tonbridge Talk: Brilliant British Humour in the Forgotten Art of the Picture Postca
From the Edwardian era to the outbreak of World War II millions of artist-drawn humorous postcards were produced not just for entertainment but to bolster morale, to inspire, instruct, motivate and persuade. Discover the popular themes and styles of the period by the masters of the medium such as Mabel Lucie Attwell, Dudley Buxton, Donald McGill and Fred Spurgin, and the reasons why their popularity waned with the British public. Lecturer: James Taylor
The lecture begins at 2.30pm and is followed by tea and biscuits. All welcome. Fee for visitors £6
