CHARLES PAINE TROOPING THE COLOUR / UNDERGROUND. 1922.
40x25 inches. Sanders, Phillips & Co., Ltd. London.
Condition B+: minor restoration along vertical and horizontal folds; restoration in margins and corners.
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 participated in by the operational troops from the Household Division, the spectacle concludes with the sovereign taking the salute him- or herself.
