About the Artist:
Lewis Baumer was born on 8 August 1870 in St John's Wood, London He attended South Kensington School and the Royal Academy School. His early work concentrated on portraits in water-colour, pastel and oil. He began contributing illustrations to Pall Mall Magazine in 1893. Four years later he had his first drawing in Punch Magazine.
Baumer worked in oils, watercolour, pen and ink, was an accomplished etcher, and in later life concentrated on painting and drawing portraits, especially of children. For his Punch work he sketched first on cartridge paper then pinned thin, semi-transparent smooth-surfaced handmade "studio paper" over this and worked with a Gillott No. 291 mapping pen and Higgins Waterproof Indian Ink. Baumer said "I never work on card; I like the feel of paper; I like to be able to hold it to the light and see my drawing reversed (a wonderful way to discover faults in drawing)."
