Ridgewell, William (1881 - 1937)
Ridgewell’s first drawings were published, as postcards, when he was 17. Stationed in India during the First World War, he contributed cartoons and sketches to The Looker-On and Indian Ink. On his return to Britain Ridgewell worked for Tit-Bits, Bystander, Punch and Passing Show. He drew advertisements for many diverse companies, including Stone’s Ginger Wine and Pratt’s Petrol.
