  The Art of Donald McGill - Essay by George Orwell - Charles' George Orwell Links
I have associated them especially with the name of Donald McGill because he is not only the most prolific and by far the best of contemporary post card artists, but also the most representative, the most perfect in the tradition.
McGill is a clever draughtsman with a real caricaturist’s touch in the drawing of faces, but the special value of his post cards is that they are so completely typical.
On the other hand, jokes exactly like McGill’s are the ordinary small change of the revue and music-hall stage, and are also to be heard on the radio, at moments when the censor happens to be nodding.

 BBC - h2g2 - Saucy Seaside Postcards - Their Ups and Downs
McGill's popularity was sealed when author George Orwell penned the essay The Art of Donald McGill.
In the early 1950s there were several local trials, ending in a court in Lincoln on 15 July, 1954 where Donald McGill was charged with violating the 1857 Obscene Publications Act.
In 1957 McGill decided to give evidence before the House Select Committee in order to amend the 1857 Act, as he felt a national system of censorship would be open to the vagaries of individual interpretation.

 McGill's World - And Welcome To It   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
McGill did a large number of fat cards over the years, and a good twenty-plus are included in a 1984 appreciation of the artist, Elfreda Buckland's The World of Donald McGill (Blumford Press, Dorset).
But McGill's images have their devoted fans, and in their own way, the cards can be quite fat positive.
It was a standard and popular theme in McGill's work, and even if he expressed a preference for other material, he never stinted in his rendering of it.

 The World of Donald McGill
A respectable Victorian gentleman, Donald McGill, spent virtually the whole of his life creating colour-washed drawings which were reproduced as postcards and sold in millions from 1904 until the mid-1960s.
McGill was, and remains, 'the king of the saucy postcard', still collected and appreciated today for his artistic skill, power of social observation and rumbustious humour.
The World of Donald McGill tells the story of McGill's life and takes a light-hearted look at the development of his work in its social context.

The most famous artist to specialise in the such seaside sauce, Donald McGill, began producing his stock-in-trade cards from 1904 and continued to turn them out until his death in 1962.
The finest memorial to the saucy seaside postcard and to the work of Donald McGill in particular is undoubtedly the essay written in September 1941 by novelist George Orwell for the journal Horizon, an essay justly regarded as a minor classic in its own right.
Get hold of a dozen of these things, preferably McGill’s — if you pick out from a pile the ones that seem to you funniest, you will probably find that most of them are McGill’s — and spread them out on a table.

 Positively vulgar
It features the work of cartoonist Donald McGill, the leading exponent of the saucy seaside postcard, who, in 1954, was brought to trial under the century-old Obscene Publications Act.
Yet, the gentle crudity of McGill’s art, when compared to some of the material to which we are exposed today, also reminds us how far we have come.
But such engagement needs to take place within a wider context, in which we advocate and live a positive vision of what it is to be human: one that is prepared to embrace the uncomfortable, embarrassing and sometimes coarse ‘fleshiness’ of our humanity without succumbing to dehumanising sensationalism or lurid sexuality.

A second comparative analysis was of students’ perceptions of the criteria of quality for students that had been developed by the post-secondary education community in Canada, in a study of criteria and indicators of quality for post-secondary institutions, administrators, faculty, programs and students (Donald and Denison, 1993; Nadeau, Donald, and Konrad, 1992).
A third analysis was undertaken to assess changes in students’ perceptions of learning from the beginning to the end of their course, and to explore the effect of students’ programs on their perceptions of learning (Donald and Anastasopoulos, 1997b).

 Donald Kingsbury's McGill Daily Index
But McGill's conservatives had neither the energy nor the attention span to put out a newspaper themselves and so its corpse was taken over by the Maoists who felt that publishing articles by a reactionary in his forties (like me) would not be responsible journalism.
In the fall of 1955, when I was a senior in mathematics at McGill University I decided to join the staff of the student newspaper, the McGill Daily, for a little intellectual fun.
I deliberately chose to violate all the grammar rules that I knew, and much to my horror found that the student copy editor at the McGill Daily was so shaken that he didn't dare make any corrections, and so the article was printed with all my deliberate irreverence plus a lot of ungrammatical typos.
