Fragments from France prints

The first Bairnsfather merchandise to be produced by The Bystander was this folio of twelve colour prints of Fragments from France cartoons, issued in January 1916. The prints, on plate sunk mounts measuring 9¾” x 14¾”, featured the cartoons which the magazine had received most requests for reproductions of, from its readers. These were:

 

The Things that Matter

So Obvious

Coiffure in the Trenches

“Where did that one go to?”

The Innocent Abroad

Keeping His hand In

That Evening Star-shell

No Possible Doubt Whatever

The Fatalist

A Maxim Maxim

The Thirst for Reprisals

“Well, if you knows of a better ‘ole, go to it!”
