Artist
William Giles Baxter
William Giles Baxter is an Impressionism artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.
William Giles Baxter spent his short career drawing for cheap magazines, cranking out jokes and political satire between deadlines. The Russian Bear is a perfect example: a rotund tsar in a bearskin, grinning like a bully as he looms over a tiny Gladstone. It’s the kind of cartoon that could swing an election—or get you fired. If you like your art with punchlines, look up The Russian Bear; it’s in the same folder as Gilbert and Sullivan’s political cartoons.
