First published in 1938, “The British Character - Studied and Revealed” contains a collection of humorous cartoons by the British cartoonist Pont, with an introduction by E. M. Delafield. The cartoons lampoon and champion in equal measure various typically British characteristics, ranging from our innate love of detective fiction and tea to various forms of social hypocrisy and amusing double standards. A highly entertaining series of thoroughly comical illustrations that will appeal to anyone with an interest in British culture and manners. Contents include: “Introduction”, “Breeding”, “The Arts”, “The Empire Spirit”, “Love of Animals”, “Domestic”, “Social Sense”, “Rural”, “Travel”, and “Sport”. Read & Co. Books is proudly republishing this classic collection of cartoons now in a new edition complete with the original text and artwork and a specially-commissioned new biography of the author.
