Design by Bruce Bairnsfather

Design by the famous World War I Bystander cartoonist, Bruce Bairnsfather for what looks like a club or restaurant menu or invitation. A chef with a ruddy face and satisfied smile says, "Well, if yer knows a Better Club go to it," which is a reference or homage to Bairnsfather's most famous cartoon from the Bystander which depicts two miserable soldiers in a shell hole with the line, "Well, if you knows a better ole, go to it"
