The Gyp Varsity cartoon by H A Moden72 Humberstone Road
History of 72 Humberstone Road
1911
Harry Moden, 29, manufacturer’s clerk scientific instruments, b Cambridge
May, 29, b Stapleford
Before his marriage Harry had lived with his family at The Wheatsheaf, 3 Market Hill. It was during the period 1903 to 1914 that as well as his day time job, he was most prolific as an artist and cartoonist. He produced many humorous sketches of Cambridge life, many of which were printed as postcards on sale in local shops. He would visit the New Theatre and made silhouette sketches of the cast of each production. He also designed menu cards, programme covers and advertisements for both local and national products. However, his health suffered, and on doctor’s advice he started to take more exercise and moved from the house in Humberstone Road, to Milton Road, in 1914. His artistic output reduced significantly and after this time he was mostly forgotten as a local artist.
