Harry Rountree (26 January 1878 – 26 September 1950) was a prolific illustration w orking in England around the turn of the 20th century. Born i n Auckland New Zealand,he moved to London in 1901, when he was 23 years old. I n 1901, Rountree migrated to London and attempted to gain commissions with magazine editors. Having little immediate success, he decided to study art, and took a course of life drawing under Percival Gaskell at Regent Street Polytechnic’s School of Art. The style that he evolved there directed fin-de-siècle elements towards comic ends, and his use of blocks of flat colour surrounded by thick jagged lines was found to be equally suitable for small-scale illustrations and large posters .

 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. He also had some early success with children's book, including his own story Jumbles in 1897. His longest collaboration was with Punch.  In his cartoon work Baumer was essentially a social humorist.

  One of the best-known  magazine  illustrators of the 1920s, his most popular works were his uniquely styled cartoons which depicted people dancing, driving, playing sports, and engaging in other popular activities of the era.

  He is known for his  Arthur Rackham -influenced fairy-tale style and use of  silhouetted  figures with  caricatured  faces.
