Description

Left half of a cartoon in two sheets; other half at B-156-130.

At the left, two road workers frown as they look at the furrows gouged by trolley buses. At the right, workers at Rongotai Aerodrome discuss subdivision plans, in front of a hangar, with a rocket launch-pad in the background.

Other Titles - \"One thing about trams, they used to break-up the roads just down the middle - these trolley buses do it all over\"

Other Titles - \"I see that now that rockets don't need any runways they're going to sub-divide part of the 'drome into housing lots\"

Date estimated as post Second World War. Estimated as pre-1950 because Lodge has not yet established his habit of incorporating the date into his signature.

Quantity: 1 original cartoon(s).

Physical Description: Ink drawing 320 x 445 mm.

Provenance: Donated by Mr Frank Mitchell in 2002. Previously owned by his brother V Leonard W Mitchell.
