Julius Mendes Price’s London Types, 2

Here is the second set of London Types designed and written by celebrated war artist Julius Mendes Price and issued by Carreras with Black Cat Cigarettes in 1919. Although Price reveals a strange fascination with those involved in social control, he counters this with a generous appreciation of those employed in the most menial occupations. Given the pick of these jobs, I think I should choose to be the Keeper of the Ape House at the Zoo.
