Rupert Besley’s Poets Cornered Exhibition Extended

If you haven’t been able to get over to Dimbola Museum and Galleries yet to see the Rupert Besley exhibition, fear not.

The exhibition, which currently adorns the walls of the cafe has been extended and you now have another three weeks to check it out.

We’re big fans of the cartoonist, who has a regular weekly feature in the County Press, but the extent of his work doesn’t end there.

He might be better known on the Island for his CP contributions, but Rupert has been a freelance cartoonist for more than 30 years.

His other work includes illustrating books (including many of his own) as well as work appearing in publications such as Punch, The Oldie and Country Life.

The exhibition, Poets Cornered, is a set of 10 cartoons celebrating the extraordinary wealth of literary talent that descended on the Island in the 19th century.

It’s on now until the 20th August, so why not pop in and check it out (you could try one of the amazing cakes that they have in the cafe whilst you’re there).
