Flag Selling, World War One by George Ranstead
A young and pretty flag seller seems to be falling prey to the attentions of a rakish type who isn't in uniform, much to the disapproval of an older, matronly lady. Drawn by George Ranstead, an amateur soldier artist of the Great War, who served in the Army Pay Corps. Ranstead was one of many soldiers of WWI who took up drawing as a hobby. His subjects range from wartime humour to pictures of pretty girls and are clearly influenced by images in the illustrated magazines of the period
