Lewis Baumer RI PS (1870-1963)
Following art education at the St John’s Wood School of Art, the Royal Academy Schools and the Royal College of Art, Baumer began submitting cartoons to the Pall Mall Magazine in 1893. He contributed cartoons to Punch for fifty years from 1897. According to Price (1957), ‘[Baumer] was in a way the leader, and certainly the most popular, of the social commentators… His tennis-parties and tea dances and bright young things and crusty old men and carefully-reared children depicted one aspect of one movement in history as completely as [John] Leech depicted another… he was capable of real comic invention.’
In addition to his published work, Baumer was a member of the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolours and the Pastel Society. He exhibited extensively including showing over two hundred works at the Fine Art Society.
