    About this ebook

    John Seymour Lindsay was an extremely productive artist who as a youth produced a delightful series of cartoons on postcards using ink and colourwash. They are full of humour, often portraying himself with his friends. They fall into four subject areas: observations of his surrounding life, holiday adventures with friends, social issues of 1906 and courting his future wife, Mildred Ethel Williams.

      Foreword

      John Seymour Lindsay was a man of many parts, all of them fascinating, many of them important, some of them heroic.

      His life has only just emerged in detail as the Lindsay family archive has lain dormant since his death in 1966. Only in the last few years has it been possible to examine his heritage in detail and the documents and artwork that emerged has painted a picture of a quite extraordinary man, with quite extraordinary talents.

      There are a number of factors that make JSL (as we shall now call him) so special even in the context of the Great War. His age, his talent and his humility. He was born on 16 May 1882 in London. His talent was for drawing and painting. He was educated at home by his Aunt Esther after the early death of his mother and the estrangement of his father who owned an ironworks in Paddington. In 1899 he was apprenticed to a design studio in Adelphi, London. It was here that his talents developed. In the early 1900s he produced a series of cartoons in ink and watercolour on postcards which he sent to his family and to his girlfriend whom he married in 1915. They are full of humour and wit.
