Jennings worked on advance publicity for the D'Oyly Carte Company in the early 1930s and the early 1950s; Stanley H. Parker, who owned this cartoon, worked for the company for 51 years, from 1909 until his death in 1960, and Frederick Hobbs was the company's business manager from 1927 until his death in 1942. They are shown in 17th, 18th, 19th and 20th century outfits respectively, while the performers Charles Goulding (1887-1939), Martyn Green (1889-1975), Darryl Fancourt (1886-1953) and Henry Lytton (1865-1936) are costumed as roles they played in the Gilbert and Sullivan operas - Charles Goulding as Ralph Rackstraw from H.M.S. Pinafore, Martyn Green as Robin Oakapple from Ruddigore, Darryl Fancourt as the Pirate King from The Pirates of Penzance, and Henry Lytton as Ko-Ko from The Mikado.

Tom Titt was the pseudonym of the Polish artist Jan Junosza de Rosciszewski (1885-1956), born in Warsaw, who came to England to study art at the Regent Street Polytechnic in 1907. His cartoons first appeared in 1911 in the British weekly magazine The New Age, and in 1930 he became the theatrical caricaturist for The Tatler, a post he held until 1948.
