CHARLES PAINE (1895-1967) TROOPING THE COLOUR / UNDERGROUND. 1922.
40x24 inches, 101 1/2x61 cm. The Baynard Press, London.
Condition A- / B+: repaired tears, creases and abrasions in margins, some affecting text.
Another markedly progressive poster by Paine, this one announcing a traditional British event. "Trooping the colour" marks the official celebration of the reigning British Monarch's birthday. A parade of pageantry by the operational troops from the Household Division, the spectacle concludes with the sovereign taking the salute him- or herself.
