| Description from source |
There is no indication of the artist's name, but the cartoon was donated by Mr Antonio Giordano. It was drawn in No 9 Loveday Internment camp during World War II, and probably depicts some of the activities a number of the internees undertook to amuse themselves while in the camp. This cartoon has been drawn on a piece of thick, yellowish drawing paper, using black pen and ink, and coloured pencils. It depicts two characters in Commedia dell'Arte-style theatrical costume, with buildings for torsos. The character on the left has blue and yellow tights, red sleeves, a green fez-style hat, and a long-necked guitar. The other character has blue and red striped tights, green sleeves, a red pointed cap with a large feather, and is carrying a sword. In the background between the characters is a soccer goal. At the bottom of the page, also between the characters, has been written an Italian sentence in black ink. |
