As she describes it: 'The anniversary of London’s congestion charge, Mayor Ken Livingstone’s plan to curb traffic “within the zone” in central London, is marked by the <i>Evening Standard</i>. The annual Brit Awards hail the kings and queens of pop at Earl’s Court, London.'\r\n\r\n'Marf' drew daily topical cartoons for the <i>Evening Standard</i> between March 2002 and August 2005, moving to the Londoner's Diary page in August 2003. The drawings cover key political and social issues of the period, providing a vivid and often hilarious response to the main news of the day. The <i>Evening Standard</i> is London's only evening newspaper, publishing up to five editions a day. In Marf's own words: 'The cartoonist needs to keep up with the rapid pace of event.'","physicalDescription":"Black and white line drawn cartoon showing a limousine pulling up at the Brit Awards 2004 at Earl's Court. A celebrity uses her mobile phone to contact her driver, as she has just spotted the c (for congestion zone) painted on the road. She has mistaken it to mean that the lane is for c-list celebrities and tells the driver to change lanes.\r\n\r\nSome lines have been blocked out with liquid paper, and faint underdrawing can be seen.","artistMakerPerson":[{"name":{"text":"Richler, Martha (Marf)","id":"A18325"},"association":{"text":"artist","id":"AAT25103"},"note":""}],"artistMakerOrganisations":[{"name":{"text":"The Evening Standard","id":"A19314"},"association":{"text":"commissioned and published","id":"x38773"},"note":""}],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[{"text":"pen and ink","id":"x30618"},{"text":"paper","id":"x30308"}],"techniques":[{"text":"drawn","id":"x30545"}],"materialsAndTechniques":"Pen and ink on paper","categories":[{"text":"Drawings","id":"THES48966"},{"text":"Caricatures & Cartoons","id":"THES48983"}],"styles":[],"collectionCode":{"text":"PDP","id":"THES48595"},"images":["2008BV3596"],"imageResolution":"low","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"LVLF (VA)","id":"THES49656"},"free":"","case":"I","shelf":"139","box":"II"}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"drawing","id":""}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"London","id":"x28980"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"2004","earliest":"2004-01-01","latest":"2004-12-31"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""},{"date":{"text":"18/02/2004","earliest":"2004-02-18","latest":"2004-02-18"},"association":{"text":"printed and published","id":"x35383"},"note":""}],"associatedObjects":[],"creditLine":"Given by the artist","dimensions":[{"dimension":"Height","value":"29.6","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""},{"dimension":"Width","value":"42","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""}],"dimensionsNote":"","marksAndInscriptions":[{"content":"WEDNESDAY 18 FEB","inscriber":{"name":{"text":"","id":""},"association":{"text":"","id":""}},"date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"description":"","interpretation":"","language":"","medium":"","method":"","position":"","script":"","translation":"","transliteration":"","type":"","note":"Written in pen top left"},{"content":"\"Driver!
