 Baumer quickly found favour as an illustrator with several magazines, his first commission was for the Pall Mall magazine in 1893 and soon his pen and ink illustrations also began to appear in others such as the Bystander and the Sketch.

Martin Claus, 1880-1956 (at least that's what we think, but it might be not totally correct), german illustrator. We don't know much about his life, we can try to stitch together a timeline of his career from the dates of some of his works

He is considered by some critics and fellow notable  illustrators  and writers, such as Dave Eggers, to be among the best currently working in the medium; Canadian graphic-novelist  Seth  has said, "Chris really changed the playing field.
