In den WarenkorbSoftcover. Zustand: g+ to vg. First edition. Oblong quarto. Unpaginated. [52]pp. Original illustrated wrappers. This splendid album features 47 humorous cartoons of two WWII battle-hardened British officers, wearing a mixture of military and non-military clothes. William John Jones - the creator of the two characters - sent some… of his cartoons under the pseudonym 'JON' to Hugh Cudlipp, formerly the editor of the "Sunday Pictorial," and, at the time, working as Editor-in-Chief of the British Army Newspaper Unit, producing a series of army newspapers. The cartoons were accepted, and the officers made their first appearance in the "Eighth Army News" in July 1944 under the title 'Page Two Smile'. Then in August 1944 they began appearing as 'The Two Types', a name that became popular and, therefore, stuck. The characters became so popular that Cudlipp arranged for Jones to join the British Army Newspaper Unit in Italy as a full-time cartoonist. The cartoons were extremely liked by the ranks and were syndicated to other publications, including the "Daily Express" from 1944. However, some officers, including on at least one occasion, Montgomery, did not approve of his cartoons and the offending ones were banned. But overall Jones's work was accepted and he was awarded the MBE for his services. Minor and sporadic creasing along edges of wrappers. Previous owner's name in ink, dated July '45, at upper corner of front cover. Pages slightly and evenly age-toned throughout. Wrappers in overall good+, interior in very good condition. About the artist: 'Jon' was the pseudonym of William John Philpin Jones who was born in Wales, in 1913, the son of bookmaker John Jones. Although his parents wanted him to become a doctor, he was always determined to draw and become an artist and his talent came as early as the age of 10, when he won a prize at the National Eisteddfod. And then in 1928 his first published cartoon appeared in the "Radnor Express." Realizing that his son was determined to pursue a career in art, his father arranged for him to attend the Birmingham School of Art, where he remained for three years. From there he won a scholarship to the Royal College of Art but his stay there was relatively short-lived as, when the director, objected to him spending too much time on drawing cartoons, he left the College. In 1937 he joined Godbolds advertising agency in London as an artist but the call of Wales was too much for him and he returned home, from where in 1938 he began working as a political cartoonist for the "Cardiff Western Mail." At the outbreak of World War II he enlisted in the Coldstream Guards and did his first seven months' training at Pirbright and Caterham. At the end of November 1940 he went to Sandhurst OCTU where he was offered a commission in the Guards. But when the authorities discovered that he did not have the necessary £500 private income to complete the commission he joined the Welch Regiment, serving on the Home Front and in North Africa. In September 1943 he became Assistant Military Landing Officer (AMLO) attached to a Canadian Division at Salerno in Italy and worked on the beach on "D" Day of the Sicily invasion. He was later AMLO at Anzio, where he remained for four months. Evacuated to North Africa with shell shock he began drawing cartoons of the two battle-hardened British officers. the "Two Types.".

Blanko-Karte von William John Philpin Jones mit schwarzer Tusche signiert in eigenhändiger Zeichnung mit eigenhändigem Zusatz "Best wishes", umseitig vom Sammler mit Stempel auf Mai 1965 datiert /// Autogramm Autograph signiert signed signee /// "William John Philpin Jones - known as John Jones - was bor…n in Llandrindod Wells, Wales, on 17 August 1913, the son of John Jones, a bookmaker. Jones?s parents wanted him to become a doctor, but from an early age he wanted to draw for a living, and ?Jon the cartoon? first showed his talent for drawing at the age of ten by winning a prize at the National Eisteddfod. In 1928 his first published cartoon appeared in the Radnor Express, and in 1932 his father arranged for him to go to the Birmingham School of Art, after a Cardiff paper had shown an interest in his work. He then won a scholarship to the Royal College of Art, but did not complete the course - according to one account, he walked out when the director ?pooh-poohed his preference for drawing cartoons.? In 1937 Jones joined Godbolds advertising agency in London, but he soon returned to Wales, where in 1938 he began working as political cartoonist for the Cardiff Western Mail. On the outbreak of war in 1939, he recalled, ?I enlisted, was sent to Sandhurst, and was offered a commission in the Guards until they realised I didn?t have the £500 a year private income they required.? He served in the Welch Regiment, first on home service and then in North Africa. In September 1943 he was Assistant Military Landing Officer at Salerno in Italy (where Humphrey Lyttelton also landed), and in January 1944 had the same job at Anzio, where he stayed for four months. As Jones later recalled, he drew all the time: ?You drew to escape. You drew for the very moment. You drew what was happening. This is how it is - now. So you drew it.? Evacuated to North Africa with shell-shock - ?a nervous wreck, shaking like a jelly? - Jones started drawing cartoons of a pair of battle-hardened British officers. They wore a bizarre mixture of military and non-military clothes, but he recalled that ?a lot of 8th Army officers dressed like that.? Hugh Cudlipp, formerly editor of the Sunday Pictorial, was working as Editor-in-Chief of the British Army Newspaper Unit, producing a series of army newspapers, and Jones sent him some of these cartoons over the signature ?JON.? They were accepted, and the officers made their first appearance in the Eighth Army News in July 1944 under the title ?Page Two Smile.? By August 1944 they were appearing as ?The Two Types,? and the name stuck. Cudlipp arranged for Jones to join the British Army Newspaper Unit in Italy as a full-time cartoonist. As he remembered, ?my Colonel called me in and said HQ had assigned me to the mobile newspaper unit?: ?Colonel Jasper wasn?t too pleased, until I drew him a portrait to send home to his wife. I put so many medals on his chest that he looked like Monty, and he was so pleased he promised to get me a destroyer to ferry me across to Naples. He did too, HMS Atherstone.? Cudlipp employed Jones to draw cartoons for Eighth Army News, Union Jack, and Soldier, and for the unit?s Sunday paper Crusader - for which Bill Connor persuaded him to develop a heavier style of political cartoon signed ?Philpin? or ?William Philpin.? The ?Two Types? proved popular in the ranks, and were syndicated to other publications, including the Daily Express from 1944. However, they brought criticism from higher up. General Montgomery banned a cartoon showing one of them jumping into a slit trench at El Alamein as the German tanks approached, and saying to the other ?When this lot?s over, I bet some ruddy General proposes a reunion!? Even more disastrously, Jones recalled, ?General Alexander tried to ban me altogether, but Hugh Cudlipp convinced him that if he did, it would prove what the troops had always suspected - that some officers were pompous and humourless too. Alexander accepted that.? Jones was instead awarded the MBE. Jones drew only some three hundred ?Two Types? cartoons between 1943 and 1946, but over a million copies of the wartime collections were printed. After demobilisation in 1946 Jones followed Cudlipp back to the Sunday Pictorial, but was very unhappy, producing only sports cartoons. ?He said no-one was interested in The Two Types readjusting to civvy life?, Jones recalled: ?I thought he was wrong, but accepted it.? When Cudlipp left in 1950, Jones decided there was no reason to stay at the Sunday Pictorial and moved to Kemsley Newspapers, where he worked for the Daily Graphic, Sunday Graphic, Empire News and Sunday Times. In 1956 he transferred to the News Chronicle, where he created two daily pocket cartoons, one a political series and the other entitled ?The Sporting Types? When the News Chronicle was absorbed by the Daily Mail in October 1960, Jones moved to the rival paper, where he was in competition with the existing Daily Mail cartoonist, Nicholas Bentley. After a miserable period in which both men produced a daily cartoon, with only one being accepted by the editorial staff, Bentley left the paper, and Jones remained as sports and front-page cartoonist. He had a ?spartan little studio? in the Daily Mail office, and became a familiar figure. One journalist described how Jones prepared to draw his daily cartoon, ?darting into the sports editor?s room, descending on the morning news schedule, grabbing agency tapes, quizzing reporters, eavesdropping, marauding, sketching on odd bits of paper and chuckling his way back to his cubicle.? In 1966 Jones was one of the founder members of the British Cartoonists? Association, and the Cartoonists? Club of Great Britain voted him Topical and Sports Cartoonist of the Year. In politics Jones claimed to be ?left of left?, but it did not show in his cartoons. His work was largely uncontroversial, although in 1968 one Daily Mail cartoon was censored. The paper had announced its transatlantic air race, and he produced.
