03 Arthur Wragg, illustration to Jesus Wept , Selwyn
and Blount London undated 1934. Wragg contrasts the preponderence of dark
over the Old Year, with the pale light that illuminates the New Year.
Compare the hands -the white contrasting with the black of the Old. The
Old Year obscures the year, while the New is in the forefront, with the
number of the year well to the fore. The Old presents a reflective glance,
the New gazing on the prospect of the New.

terrifying visions in advertising imagery - the massed ranks of insurance
