The Sketch, 1938

172, Strand, London, W.C.


This was the (half) year of 'howlers' in The Sketch: in the first 6 months of 1938 Hunt and Blampied published 22 collections of 4 'howlers' and one collection of three. Although Blampied did a few more desultory drawings for The Sketch, this was the end. He had left his flat in Roland Gardens in South Kensington and was suing his former landlord. The Blampied's moved in December 1937 to a flat at Wetherby Mansions in Earl's Court, but Edmund wanted to return to live in Jersey. He and Marianne visited the island to find somewhere to live and prepared to leave London.
