N05464 DICK SHEPPARD AND ALDOUS HUXLEY 1938
Inscr. ‘Low’ b.r.
Pencil, chalk and ink, 16 1/2×24 (42×61).
Presented by the artist 1944.
Dick Sheppard and Aldous Huxley were among those who advocated passive resistance in the years preceding the 1914–18 war. Low discusses this attitude, and a similar cartoon of 1936, in his Autobiography, 1956, pp.301–6. N05464 was drawn for a double page illustration to an article by Rebecca West in Nash's Magazine, 1938.
