Product Description
Book Description
Sidney Strube was the editorial cartoonist of the Daily
Express between 1912 and 1948. During these years, he assisted in no small
way to making the Daily Express the best selling national newspaper in the
world. In 1915, Strube enlisted in the Artists Rifles Battalion and served
on the Western Front alongside other artists and writers such as Paul Nash
and Wilfred Owen. Strube's greatest creation was the `Little Man', which
represented the man in the street, a figure of whom large sections of the
population then identified with. During the 1930s, Strube's ridiculing of
Hitler and Mussolini often led to the Daily Express being banned in Germany
and Italy. Strube's name, alongside many other prominent critics of
Hitler's regime, was discovered on a Nazi hit list after the war.

What they have said of Strube:
Winston Churchill: "In my opinion Strube is one of the greatest cartoonists
the newspapers have had in this country for many, many years."
Stanley Baldwin: "Strube is a gentle genius, I don't mind his attacks
because he never hits below the belt."
Lord Beaverbrook: "I think Strube has a greater influence in public life
than anybody."
Field Marshall Lord Kitchener: "Strube is a genius! And in this time of
stress and sorrow his sense of humour and power of conveying it are
invaluable."
