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).
