Any depiction in Malvern, Worcestershire, of a Victorian/Edwardian man with a droopy moustache, is invariably a picture of the English composer, Edward Elgar (1857-1934), who lived in the town. A garden near the centre of the settlement features a statue of him. A would-be Banksy must be responsible for the cartoon representation placed next to the K6 version of the telephone kiosk, and humour must be the reason for the green mobile phone. A quick image search turned up the original
photograph on which the cartoon is based, the modern artist having removed the bicycle that Elgar is holding.
