Strube, Sidney ‘George’ (1891 - 1956)
Strube’s early work was published in the Conservative & Unionist, Bystander, Evening Times and Throne and Country. When the latter magazine refused one of his drawings he took it to the Daily Express who published it and in 1912 employed Strube on an exclusive contract as the paper’s political cartoonist until 1948. During the First World War, Strube served with the Artists’ Rifles. His ‘little man’ with his umbrella, pince-nez glasses, bow tie and bowler hat, was meant to represent the man in the street, ‘trying to keep his ear to the ground, his nose to the grindstone, his eye to the future and his chin up – all at the same time’, as Strube himself said. In 1931, Strube became the highest paid journalist in Fleet Street on a salary of £10,000 a year. See Strube biography by Timothy S. Benson.
