Ronald Searle: The Day the Truth Got Out

I've been following cartoonist Ronald Searle's work dutifully, even obsessively, for more than 35 years now and there are still countless published drawings I've never seen. On eBay, this undated (but apparently 1953) supplement to the April-May Lilliput has just been sold. The price isn't bad but the 15 GBP international shipping seemed a bit excessive to me. The good news is that of the six published Searle drawings, the seller has included two of them in his listing. This is how eBay sellers make the world a better place, well, one of the ways.

Note:  As I've already mentioned in recent posts, a major showing of Ronald Searle's reportage work is coming to San Francisco. The exciting eBay fundraiser for the forthcoming "Searle in America" exhibition can be viewed here.
