Arthur Wallis Mills (1878-1940)
Wallis Mills was born in Sussex and studied art at the South Kensington Schools. R G G Price, in his history of the magazine (1957), somewhat churlishly described Mills’ work as being ‘banal in caption and amateurish in drawing.’ He was a better artist than Price acknowledges and his long association with Punch (from 1905 to 1939) bears this out.
