Today I learned that P. G. Wodehouse once said he could picture Stanley Holloway playing Jeeves, particularly in a musical version (Holloway being the only "singing Jeeves" Wodehouse could accept). Most of the images floating around are of a fairly aged Mr. Holloway. However, having found this picture of him as a young man, all I can say is YES, ( Read more... )

Hi, everyone! It's me (AGAIN). I just wanted to give you all a link to my newest project, A Visual Guide to the World of Wooster. It's kind of a continuation of my "Classic Wodehouse Illustrations" series here on Indeedsir.

There are only a couple posts up so far, but I hope you will enjoy them!

What ho again! I just saw this posted over on Facebook, and had to share it here ( Read more... )

What ho again, Indeed Sirrers! I am back with more illustrations from the Boston Globe, plus a bonus feature from the LA Times. Most of these are stories we've already seen in earlier posts in this series, treated by other illustrators.

Today, we're going to look at the latter ( Read more... )

I don't know how many of you are still around who remember this series, but a million years ago in internet time (so like 4 years ago) I started gathering and posting illustrations from the original publications of various Jeeves and Bertie stories/novels. I posted all the ones that were easy for ( Read more... )

OMG you guys, OMG OMG OMG! Remember my series of vintage Wodehouse illustration posts? (The last one I did is here, and I think that has links to all of them.) Well, I just found an amazing website that not only has transcripts of pretty much every Wodehouse work published in a periodical before 1923, but they also include all the original ( Read more... )

Thought you all might appreciate this: Mental Floss recently featured a color film of London in 1926. "In 1926, British-born filmmaker Claude Friese-Greene filmed the streets of London in breathtaking color...Film history heralds the arrival of color film in the 1930s, but this footage moves that back to the '20s." You can watch the video (it's ( Read more... )
