Illustration : "Something unusual must be happening..."

This illustration for the story "How Far to Babylon" by Coningsby Dawson depicts: • A band leader giving a speech in front of a crowd. The band members wear open-front jackets, sashes around their waists, and bandannas tied over their heads. The men in the crowd wear morning suits while the women have on dresses and hats. • A woman, hatless and hiding behind a large fern, watches in the distance. She wears a belted dress and a necklace with a medallion. • In the foreground is bouquet of roses next to a man's face turned from the crowd and looking downwards. • The Caption reads: "Something unusual must be happening. The orchestra leader in his broken English was making a speech."
