As she describes it: 'Prince Charles and his new wide Camilla have delayed their honeymoon until now – and it is to be a cruise in the Aegean with no press photographers allowed. So we commoners are left to imagine how romantic it must be, two lovers united at last. The drawing echoes the famous scene of the two lovers at the prow of the doomed liner in the 1997 blockbuster film <i>Titanic</i>.'\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":"This is a print of a black and white line drawn cartoon. Prince Charles and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall are on board the royal yacht. Prince Charles is holding Camilla over the front of the boat, in a similar pose to that seen on the film <i>Titanic</i>. Camilla has a fixed grin on her face.","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":"Prints","id":"THES48903"},{"text":"Caricatures & Cartoons","id":"THES48983"}],"styles":[],"collectionCode":{"text":"PDP","id":"THES48595"},"images":["2008BV3593"],"imageResolution":"low","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"LVLF (VA)","id":"THES49656"},"free":"","case":"I","shelf":"139","box":"II"}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"print","id":""}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"London","id":"x28980"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"2005","earliest":"2005-01-01","latest":"2005-12-31"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""},{"date":{"text":"13/05/2005","earliest":"2005-05-13","latest":"2005-05-13"},"association":{"text":"printed and published","id":"x35383"},"note":""}],"associatedObjects":[],"creditLine":"Given by the artist","dimensions":[{"dimension":"Height","value":"42","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""},{"dimension":"Width","value":"29.6","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""}],"dimensionsNote":"","marksAndInscriptions":[{"content":"FRIDAY 13TH of MAY","inscriber":{"name":{"text":"","id":""},"association":{"text":"","id":""}},"date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"description":"","interpretation":"","language":"","medium":"","method":"","position":"","script":"","translation":"","transliteration":"","type":"","note":"Top left,  reproduced writing"},{"content":"\"You see?
