EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the essence of William Kerridge Haselden (1872-1953), a British cartoonist of great renown, known for his groundbreaking work in the world of comic illustration. Haselden's career spanned several decades and encompassed a diverse range of publications, including Punch and the Daily Mirror. His theatrical cartoons in Punch, with their witty and humorous commentary, gained him widespread acclaim. However, it was his strips in the Daily Mirror, particularly "The Sad Experiences of Big and Little Willie," that truly solidified his place in history as the father of the strip cartoon. During World War One, Haselden's cartoons provided a much-needed respite for the British public, offering a lighthearted and humorous take on the harsh realities of the conflict. His illustrations, with their simple yet effective storytelling, resonated deeply with readers and continue to be celebrated for their timeless appeal. Haselden's impact on the cartooning world was significant, paving the way for future generations of comic artists and illustrators. His work remains an important part of the historical record, offering a glimpse into the past while continuing to entertain and inspire. This photograph, taken during Haselden's later years, captures the introspective and thoughtful expression of a man who dedicated his life to bringing joy and laughter to others through his art.
