DescriptionLithograph – one amongst a series depicting London pubs.*Two types of attractiveness are depicted in this print, and each evokes its own response. Barmaids new lean back, and in the painting of a pouting mouth create the attentiveness desired. Barmaids old lean forward, and in solicitous kindness evoke a benevolence of response no less important to the regular drinkers at this side of the bar. This is joyous and pure Ardizzone.*The Local, Maurice Gorham, Cassell and Co./Curwen Press, 1939.
