'Royal Academy Depressions'. A film parody by George Morrow.
George Morrow was born in Belfast, Northern Ireland, and studied in Paris, France. He was a regular contributor to Punch magazine from 1906 on, joined the staff in 1924, and was even art editor for a while (1932-37). For many years, Morrow produced Royal Academy Depressions, a series of comic parodies of Royal Academy pictures. He also illustrated several children's books, including 'Elnovia' (1925), 'Cinderella's Garden' (1927), 'Chuckles' (1927) and 'Here Be Dragons' (1930). George Morrow retired to Thaxted, Essex, where he died in 1955.
In 1933, Morrow drew a cartoon paying tribute to F.H. Townsend's iconic cartoon 'Bravo, Belgium' (1914). While in the original, from the First World War, the drawing depicts Belgium as a little boy defending himself against an old man, representing Germany, Morrow's spoof depicts Austria as the little boy and Adolf Hitler as the threatening German man.
