Searle's kids watching him draw Mr Punch. He appears to be working on the cover artwork for the April 6th edition 1955.
"Can't let this image slip below the fold without at least one comment. I love it because it represents Old Britain and New Britain meeting circa 1963 or so. Beaton the established fashion/portrait photographer, Searle the young "radical" cartoonist -- finding common ground, I suppose, in a flawless graphic composition, with that bright red lamp popping out of the image. Nice find."
