Double page illustration by H. M. Bateman showing a chaotic scene at London auctioneers, Christies because of the actions of a mischievous ventriloquist. Bateman (1887-1970) was a popular artist & regularly contributed to the Sketch, the Tattler and the Bystander. His efficient, bold style depicting social faux-pas was ground breaking for its time and his work is a brilliant reflection of the period.
