Cummings, Michael (1919 -1997)
Initially Cummings contributed to the left-wing newspaper, Tribune, then became political cartoonist at the Daily Express from 1949 until 1990. He worked for Punch for over 30 years, taking over the ‘Essence of Parliament’ illustrations from A.W. Lloyd in 1953. Michael Heseltine said being caricatured by Cummings was ‘Death by a thousand strokes… but at least I die laughing’. From 1990 onwards Cummings contributed to the Daily Mail, The Times and The Oldie and he claimed to be the only cartoonist to have caricatured every British Prime Minister from Churchill to Tony Blair.
