Another fine rugby advertising print !
This one comes from Scotland, home of famous "Black & White" whisky... and shows the dark-blue-almost-black Scot winger crossing the white English line...
Could anyone put a date stamp on this print ? it refers to H.M.King George VI, i.e.1936-1952... I assume late 40s, then not really sure that this picture belongs to Public Domain... let's hope that B&W don't mind...
Le blog Bear Alley semble dater la collaboration de Henry Coller avec B&W à l'année 1950...

arghhh... jai préparé une mise à jour pour inclure ton point sur Henri Coller... jai inséré dautres images de rugby dessinées par notre homme... et jai fermé le navigateur sans sauvegarder, crétin que je suis !!
Un peu de découragement, là :-(
Sinon, les cartes dessinées par Coller http://www.flickr.com/search/?w=27925507@N00q=coller

I have the England v Scotland original from March 26th 1949. Does anybody know if there is one Wales v Ireland of the same advert ?

I'm afraid that I've never seen this W v I print. I'd love to see it as well !
