David Low, May 24th, 1940
This cartoon by David Low was published in the Evening Standard on May 24th, 1940. It shows, on the one hand, the appearance of air-raid shelters as a common element in daily life in the United Kingdom during the World War II. On the other hand, the author distinguishes, as Orwell did in some of his books and articles, the different roles played by workers and democratic institutions.
