On The Illustrated Winespeak's first publication inthis hilarious send-up of winetaster's jargon was hailed by 'The Financial Times' as "one of this year's bubbling successes". It has since been constantly reprinted to meet demand and has become a classic of The Illustrated Winespeak kind. For all those mystified by the strange pontifications of wine-buffs, Ronald Searle's The Illustrated Winespeak is the perfect guide to the meaning behind "distinctive nose", "full bodied" and "elegant but lacks backbone". The book is an onslaught on the pretentious nonsense written and spoken about wine.

  • The History of British Cartoons and Caricature Transcript
    The History of British Cartoons and Caricature Transcript Date: Monday, 4 October 2010 - 12:00AM Location: Museum of London Gresham Lecture, 4 October 2010 The History of British Cartoons and Caricature Lord Baker of Dorking First, I should congratulate you on coming today, in spite of the tube strike. It is a wonderful example of British grit and determination, and congratulations in beating Mr Bob Crow! Of course, the alternative that you did have available to you was to stay at home and watch the Conservative Party Conference on television. I think, on the whole, you have chosen wisely! Caricature is not an English word. The first time it was used in England was in 1748. It comes from the Italian “caricatura” and there is also a French verb, “carcare”. Those verbs mean to load, to burden, and to exaggerate. There were a few drawings made at the end of the 17th Century in Italy of grotesque figures, exaggerated caricatures, but it did not develop as an art form there at all. There is virtually nothing in 18th Century Italian art that could be described as caricature. It sort of fizzled out. Nor did it get established in France. Indeed, the Kings of France were quite clear that they did not like to be caricatured. One engraver, who depicted Louis XIV, the Sun King, in a disparaging way, was torn apart by four horses. That is a practice, which on the whole, discourages the dedication to a profession. Caricature started in Britain in the 1720s. Graphic satire is the only art form our country has created.

  • Notes on the Thai-Burma Railway Part Ii: Asian Romusha; the Silenced Voices of History
    － 142 － NOTES ON THE THAI-BURMA RAILWAY PART II: ASIAN ROMUSHA; THE SILENCED VOICES OF HISTORY NOTES ON THE THAI-BURMA RAILWAY PART II: ASIAN ROMUSHA; THE SILENCED VOICES OF HISTORY David Boggett The slimy track we had followed to Konyu Camp was the only way through the jungle and it linked the sixty or so labour camps dotted along the path of the railway... The track was littered with bits of abandoned tracks, great broken branches covered in thorns... and, frequently, the abandoned corpses of unfortunate Tamils and Chinese "recruited" from Malaya, who had got no further than this on their way to the promised dream job. (The Japanese amassed the vast Asian labour force that was necessary for this railway work by offering the incentive of a six-month contract under ideal conditions: splendid food, lots of money - and bring your families. Many did bring them and it was sickening to see women and small children passing through with bewildered-looking groups of Tamils and Chinese, to a miserable death). -former British POW & artist, Ronald Searle: "To the Kwai - and Back; War Drawings, 1939-1945" (Collins, 1986) INTRODUCTION As if the immeasurable sufferings of the Asian labourers (romusha) used in the construction of the Thai-Burma Railway was some sort of fictive dressing, the movie "The Bridge on the River Kwai" heaped indignity upon misery in its passing and off-hand reference to Asian labourers. It is on this issue that the movie deserves serious criticism and even condemnation. The one and only reference to Asian (in the movie' s setting, Thai) labour occurs after the Force 316 commando group is parachuted into Thailand in order to demolish the bridge.
