About

Watercolour and ink drawing by Frank Reynolds, titled “I do hope we won’t be late for the concert.” The composition shows a humorous coastal scene: two small rowing boats heading toward a fragile, elevated pier structure where a crowd is climbing toward a concert hall perched above the water. Reynolds’ characteristic wit appears in the exaggerated gestures of the rowers and the precarious architecture rising from the sea.

Signed Frank Reynolds at the lower left. Presented in a frame with a period copy of Punch magazine on the verso, where this illustration was originally published on 26 May 1941.

Frank Reynolds (British, 1876–1953) was a leading illustrator and cartoonist associated with Punch magazine. Active during the Edwardian period through the mid-20th century, he was known for his sharply observed social humour, expressive figure drawing, and contributions to satirical publications. His work also appeared in book illustration, notably for Dickens editions, and he became one of the recognisable visual voices of British caricature between the wars.
