A piece of political art by an unknown artist created in what appears to be both coloured pen and paint, in cartoon style, which has no immediately evident title. The image depicts a Pirate in classical Pirate raiment, and on his hat are the words (possible title/main message?) 'Kiss Me Quick'. The pirate stands upon the quarterdeck of his vessel looking portentously at the painting's observer, what the political message here is hard to decipher; that the pirate has a crow as opposed to the usual parrot on his should implies the art has a particularly ominous intent. Colours are not that bright, which may be on purpose or due to age, there are subtle etched lines, and again these might be intentional and certainly contribute to the image's oppressive feel. The art is signed 'Jim' and has the date '76'. Despite contacting various galleries and cartoon experts, we have been unable to identify the artist. Condition is good, and the picture as a whole is clean, there are some bumps where it has not been stuck to the card properly. the card it's mounted on is in reasonably good condition, but has a number of minor dirty marks on, and lots on reverse, with some sticky tape too. There is a small tear on the card, and an insignificant bend on one corner. Approx. Dimensions: 50cm H, 40cm W. Please search "Political Cartoon" to see more of these.
