A Midwinter Night’s Dream by Bernard Partridge, 31 December, showing a trade union delegate bewitched in a Soviet fairyland. Photograph from a line drawing originally printed in the Punch and London Charivari periodical in 1924. This is a good example of the skilful artists and the humour and satire of the time.
