Description

Framed and glazed original black, white and grey pen-and-ink editorial cartoon copyright by Adrian Raeside, published in the Victoria Times Colonist, 1984. Four panels titled "All Over the BC Legislature, Everyone's Preparing for the Next Session". Individually, the panels are titled [upper left to right] "Sarge-at-Arms", "Press Gallery" [lower left to right] "Library", "NDP Caucus". The grey areas of the cartoon are created with a "Letraset"-type dry transferable artwork element. There is evident in the "Library" panel of the use of "Wite-Out"-type correction fluid to change the smile of the depicted character. Signed in the "Library" panel by the artist "[copyright symbol]/'84 Raeside [dog bone]/Victoria Times Colonist" and in the lower right hand corner of the "NDP Caucus" panel is Raeside's signature tiny mouse face [see second Raeside e-mail]. Narrow black frame. Brown paper backing stamped "Dale's Picture Crafts/283 Fort Street/Victoria, BC/V8W 1G9". Picture wire hanger.
