Harradine: The Old Balloon Seller In 1929‚ Doulton introduced a series of figures‚ which would resonate with figures by Vyse. However‚ due to the constraints of mass production‚ the Doulton figures appear to lack the subtle animation that sets a Vyse figure apart from the mundane. Furthermore‚ Doulton added a new design by Leslie Harradine HN1315 Old Balloon Seller‚ to its range of street vendors. Unfortunately‚ to Vyse’s jaundiced viewpoint‚ this was indeed a contentious title (Fig 97). In the heyday

From his studio adjacent to Vyse‚ he sent in two exhibits to the RA. A promotional photo-card‚ dated 1927‚ illustrates one of Parr’s exhibits‚ a pottery group titled Chanticleer (RA1572). The subject is a handsome boy mounted on a speckled

West Side Story demonstrates yet again the enduring quality of Shakespeare’s work‚ how he explored personal desires and social structures so intrinsically human that we can still identify with his characters 400 years later and recognize how our reinvented society mirrors those
