A monochrome satirical cartoon illustration or high-quality proof print depicting a line of porters traversing a rugged, mountainous landscape. The figures are shown carrying heavy loads, led by a figure whose speech bubble reads: KEEP GOING LADS – THERE’S A NATWEST CASH DISPENSER ROUND THE NEXT CORNER. The artwork utilises anachronistic humour, contrasting a remote, traditional setting with the National Westminster Bank brand, a prominent British financial institution. The style suggests production for a British newspaper or magazine, likely dating from the late 1970s or 1980s, coinciding with the widespread introduction of automated teller machines in the United Kingdom. The work is unsigned.
