EDITORS COMMENTS
by Eddie Tatham: A Humorous Snapshot of 1930s Society This spread from The Bystander, published in 1932, offers a delightful glimpse into the humorous side of 1930s society through the satirical cartoons of Eddie Tatham. The image captures a collection of prominent figures of the era, each accompanied by an unrecorded quip that adds a touch of wit and whimsy to their public persona. At the center, Mahatma Gandhi, the renowned political and spiritual leader, is shown apologetically exclaiming "Excuse my glove." Nearby, the ubiquitous socialite, Miss Margaret Whigham, inquires with a mischievous grin, "What is a gossip-writer?" Lady Nancy Astor, the first female Member of Parliament, expresses her disdain for soda with the simple request, "Thank you - not much soda please." Cecil Beaton, the celebrated photographer, offers a casual "Gee kid! You're tough," while the Ruthven Twins, known for their fashionable attire, reveal their sibling rivalry with the comment, "I hate my sisters clothes, notorious nightclub owner Mrs. Kate Meyrick pours a cup of tea and quips, "As I said to the vicar..." Mr. Randolph Churchill, Winston's younger brother, is shown at a loss for words with "Words fail me," and The Earl of Warwick asks a policeman for directions to the Ritz, adding, "The Earl of What?" to the conversation. These sayings, presented firmly tongue-in-cheek, provide a lighthearted and entertaining look into the lives of the socialites, figures, and celebrities of the 1930s. The cartoons of Eddie Tatham continue to amuse and delight, offering a unique perspective on the history of the era.
