NOTE: H M Bateman 1887 - 1970: - 20th century cartoonist and caricaturist born in Australia and brought to England when 2 years of age. He died on Gozo aged 81. During his most prolific years he drew for most of the quality periodicals. Through line and tone he was able to convey the full range of human emotion to maximum comic effect. Frustrated by ill health from army service in the first World War he contributed by raising the spirits of officers and men alike through his inspirational drawings. Throughout the 20's and 30's the popularity of the "Man Who …." Series, published first in the 'Tatler', raised his status to that of the highest paid and most copied humorist of the time. His most famous of all was 'Coughs & Sneezes Spread Diseases'. In retirement he painted quality pictures of the English countryside and Mediterranean life.
