Description: | Phil May was a popular cartoonist in the 1890s, whose work appeared in Punch and other magazines. One of his favourite subjects was everyday life around London. The train and tube made it easy for East Londoners to escape the crowded city streets for the countryside setting of Hampstead Heath. Edwardian music hall songs referred to the area as 'Appy 'Ampstead, playing on the Cockney accent. Fairs are still held on the Heath at Bank Holiday weekends. This is a 1950s reprint of an original May cartoon. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Hampstead Museum | Rights holder: | Hampstead Museum | Subjects: | Leisure Art and Design | Temporal: | 1952 | Source: | Burgh House and Hampstead Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
