Description | John Hassall Correspondence Art School, WW1 |
Details |
Advertisement for a correspondence art school, run by the famous illustrator and poster artist, John Hassall. Advertisements for art schools appeared frequently in illustrated magazines at the time, and it was considered a relaxing pastime with money-making potential. The advertisement suggests that the hobby is an 'antidote to war strain' and Mr Hassall offers a free criticism of any copies sent to him of the featured sketch, a picture of a stereotypical German officer.
