Click on any image for a larger versionMy book has now gone to the printers and I hope to have it out in about the next month.
My objective is to introduce Gordon to a modern audience by analysing his cartoons and outlining some of his life's story.
He died suddenly and tragically in my mother's shop in 1946. His estranged wife returned from England to deal with his affairs and, in the words of his daughter, "claim the children", who she took back to England with her.
Gordon then sank into complete obscurity until NLI acquired the collection of his originals. Since then some of his cartoons have appeared in books and elsewhere, but his magnificent work deserves more universal recognition.
I hope my book will contribute in some small way to this.
Check out Gordon's collection online at the National Library of Ireland.
