Yet another great old illustration by the likes of Laurence Fellows (or perhaps Leslie Saalberg). Say what you might about brown suits, but I'd wear this number in a second although the spectator shoes strike me as a bit much in this particular context.

Something about the shading leads me to believe that it's neither Fellows nor Saalberg, but a much later attempt to replicate their style.
