A very good copy (without dust wrapper). As cartoonist, art editor and editor, Kenneth Bird transformed the style of Punch. His own contributions pared down human activity with such economy as to suggest the essence of modern life. This approach also had a significant influence on advertising, as in the emphasis on the elegant streamlining of Austin Reed's 'New Tailoring'. Bird's influential, economical draughtsmanship won him the role as the only artist to be Editor of Punch (1949-53). Much more sociable than his predecessor, E V Knox, he encouraged contributors to visit the office and discuss their work. He also modernised the layout, and introduced two double-pages a week of descriptive reporting from around Britain.
