James Gillray

Cover artwork for the ninth series Giles Annual, Daily Express, 1954-55, depicting a French cafe scene featuring the Giles family, with Grandma pouring wine and Mother glowering at Father, ink, watercolour and bodycolour on board, image 34 x 72 cm. As opposed to the relentless nature of the daily cartoon, these were a labour of love which Giles worked on for months.
