Praise Allah

A small and strange looking boy dressed in a giant fake moustache, wearing a chef's hat emblazoned with the word 'chef' written in sausages, with an Earthward plummeting aeroplane on his shoulder, advertising a seasoning called Praise Allah.
A work of staggering genius or Dadaist madness? Who can tell?
From Gourmet- The Magazine of Good Living, November 1960.

Arnos Grove

Arnos Grove Underground station. From Design at Work, produced jointly by the Royal Society of Arts and the Council for Industrial Design.
As far as I know the station is exactly the same now but with a different lamp-post outside.
