English painter and engraver, born at Newark on the 5th of February 1872, and educated at the Magnus school, Newark. He studied at the Académie Julien, Paris, and about 1894 began experimenting in wood engraving, producing some admirable work in that medium, characterized by the use of bold masses of black and white or of somber greys and browns, relieved by touches of bright colour. In this manner he illustrated An Alphabet (1898); An Almanac of Twelve Sports (with Rudyard Kipling; 1898); London Types (with W. E. Henley; 1898); Characters of Romance (1900); A Square Book of Animals (with A. Waugh; 1900), and engraved some well-known portraits, including that of Queen Victoria. He also collaborated with James Pryde under the name of The Beggarstaff Brothers in designing some remarkable posters. To the set of lithographs entitled Britains Aims and Ideals, published during the World War, he contributed The End of War. As a painter he is best known for his interiors and still-life pictures, such as The Hundred Jugs (1916), Souvenirs de Babette, Miss Simpsons Boots and The Striped Shawl; but his work also includes landscapesfor example, The Hill above Harlechgenerally in a low key, and many portraits, including those of W. E. Henley, the painters mother, Sir W. C. Pakenham (for the Imperial War Museum); Ursula Lutyens, and The Girl with the Tattered Glove. He is represented in the Luxembourg, Paris; the Tate Gallery; the Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool; the Glasgow Gallery; and the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge.
