Condition Minor discolouration to the watercolour and light wear to the frame.Biography J M Staniforth was one of the first full-time political cartoonists in Britain. He worked for the Western Mail, Evening Express, Sunday Weekly, and the News of the World. At the turn of the 20th century, he was the only political cartoonist working for a Sunday paper. Staniforth trained as a lithographic printer for the Western Mail before becoming an art reviewer. A promising young artist, he studied at the Cardiff School of Art, where he worked primarily in paint but slowly moved from brushwork to inks, where he found a talent for cartoons and caricature. He started publishing cartoons in 1889 after being spotted by the Western Mail's editor, Henry Carr. Although his cartoons followed editorial lines, with editor Carr appearing in several stating his own opinion, in 1893, Henry Carr took over the Sunday News of the World, redesigning the paper’s layout and placing Staniforth's cartoons on the front page of every issue. In later years, Staniforth worked alongside Leslie Illingworth at the Western Mail. On his death, Illingworth did a tribute to Staniforth in a cartoon that is featured in the Cartoon Century by Timothy S. Benson.

Sulis Fine Art traces its origins back four generations. Benjamin Diamond opened a picture framing factory in Midtown Manhattan in the early 20th century. Originally known as Royal Art, the business worked closely with artists and museum institutions, developing a reputation for creating fine frames. Royal Art passed through the family and eventually evolved into Sulis, now run by Benjamin's grandson Bill, and his son Dan. Based in the South West of England, we source art from across the British Isles and ship worldwide. We handpick all our stock and we've grown into a ten-strong team of art historians, photographers, restorers, studio technicians and despatchers. We relocated to our Corsham studio in early 2020, leaving behind our small garden workshops in Bradford-on-Avon that had been our base for several successful years. Now located on the edge of the Cotswolds, our current home allows the team to work alongside our large catalogue of artworks, allowing us to provide you with fast global shipping and top-notch customer service. We are always striving to connect people with the art they love. Each week we add new artworks to our extensive catalogue, across all styles, subjects, colours and periods. At the heart of Sulis, we rescue and restore lost and forgotten works, giving you the opportunity to find unique pieces and discover art in a new and different way. View All Artworks View More -->
