Searle’s Female Approach
- One of the gems I received for my birthday, a week or so ago, was a beautiful and rare book of Ronald Searle’s cartoons, The Female Approach – which includes the original St. Trinian’s books. This little gem came from John Canemaker. I’d thought I’d post two small chapters from the book. One a group of Caricatures, the second a piece called How To Cure A Cold.
Here are those cartoons:

Ths caricature of Alastair Sim, alone, is worth the price of admission.

A magnificent cartoon of Fernandel. So simple and perfect.

Agreed. His eye for caricature is stunning, emphasising all the right features without going too far overboard.

Oh, the hours I spent drawing St. Trinian schoolgirls with hockey sticks when I was small…and what it led me to do with my life. Thanks for posting all these.
