Vintage Snaffles WWI Military Print, The D.R.
A good hand coloured Snaffles WWI military print 'The D.R.'. The lithograph shows a despatch rider on a motor cycle racing past two dead riders in the road, a sign saying "Do not loiter here, this spot is DANGEROUS", a wayside shrine with Jesus on the cross and with the caption 'Remarkable close to the old bus's 'ead to let the stuff go by. (Rudyard Kipling with the artist's apologies).'. In the bottom margin is a remarque of the despatch rider falling off his motor bike.
This Charles "Snaffles" Johnson Payne (1884 - 1967) picture is in good original condition, it has the Snaffles blindstamp (a bridle bit) and is framed in a modern black frame. Snaffles spent the First World War period as a special artist in France.
