Description
Low's Russian Sketchbook. Text by Kingsley Martin.—Low's sketches surely make one of the most vivid and impressive of contemporary Russian records ! They seem to tell us more at a glance than all the huge or small books that have come out about Russia. But Mr. Kingsley Martin's text is well worth study. He must be a patient man, for he lost his temper only once in Russia. But what riled Low was that the Soviet officials could all look through his book of sketches (for censorship purposes) " and not smile once ! " Indeed, Russia hardly strikes one as a land of humorists. (Gollancz, Bs. 6d.)

Biblio Notes
David Alexander Cecil Low (7 April 1891 – 19 September 1963) was a New Zealand political cartoonist and caricaturist who lived and worked in the United Kingdom for many years. Low was a self-taught cartoonist. Born in New Zealand, he worked in his native country before migrating to Sydney in 1911, and ultimately to London (1919), where he made his career and earned fame for his Colonel Blimp depictions and his satirising of the personalities and policies of German dictator Adolf Hitler, Italian dictator Benito Mussolini, Soviet leader Joseph Stalin, and other leaders of his times.
