Another dead hero

I’ve been out for most of today, so today’s EDW comes with no explanatory gloss - or even a name.

As soon as someone correctly guesses the identity of the dapper man above, I’ll tell you all about him.

I can’t quite make out the profile, but he certainly looks smart.

I also love when men hold a cigarette like that.

That’s some moustache, but I have no idea who he is…

I’m surprised Dornan hasn’t had a go, actually. I’ll tell you later in the weekend - for the meantime, I’ll give you the clues that he was a first-rate cartoonist, admired Max Beerbohm (especially in matters of dress), and was very keen on architecture.

Dornan hasn’t had a go because he’s had better things to do than pander to Locker’s Max Beerbohm obsession.

It’s Osbert Lancaster, isn’t it?
