From: Paterson, Alan Stuart, 1902-1968 :[Ten strip cartoons published in the Dominion between 12 July 1950 and 16 January 1951].

Reference: A-290-093

Description: Cartoon strip showing scenes of defeated rugby players from the various provinces "conquered" by the British Lions rugby team: Wyrapper-Bush [Wairarapa-Bush], 'Awkes Bay, East Coast Poverty Bay, Wellin'ton, Wanganui, Taranaki, Manawatu-'Orowhenua, Waikato, North Auckland, Auckland. At lower right, two men talk over a beer, and one wonders just what was in the food parcels that New Zealand sent to Britain. The title "Sad hearts and coronachs" may be a play on the title of the 1949 British film "Kind Hearts and Coronets". A coronach is a Scot or Irish dirge or lamentation for the dead. Although the Lions won games against provincial sides they were beaten 3-1 in the four-match test series. However they were considered by the public of the time to be "the best-ever side to have toured the Land of the Long White Cloud" (retrieved from http://www.lionsrugby.com/news/9244.php, 22 February 2011) Other Titles - What, hiding, have, has, and; July Quantity: 1 original cartoon(s).

From: Lodge, Nevile Sidney 1918-1989 :[Archive of original cartoons for the Evening Post and Sports Post, 1941 to 1988]

Reference: B-137-195

Description: A man with the letters,'W.R.F.U' (Wellington Rugby Football Union) on his jacket bangs a nail into the wall on which he intends to hang 'The shield' (Ranfurly Shield) for the year 1956. A rugby player stands behind him proudly holding the shield but just behind him an auk (Auckland) pokes its head through the door and in the second scene, siezes the shield and makes off with it leaving the man with the hammer and the rugby player in a state of great consternation. Refers to the Ranfurly shield which was won from Canterbury by Wellington September 22, 1956. This cartoon is probably the one drawn to be published if Wellington then lost the Shield to Auckland in a challenge a week later - in fact Wellington won, 9-6, so this cartoon would not have been published. Top left is a label bearing the words, '"The Evening Post", September 29th..1956' Quantity: 1 original cartoon(s). Physical Description: Ink and letratone on card, 562 x 382 mm
