Mollie Horseman b. 9 December 1911

Also known as Marie Compston Horseman, Molly Horseman, M. Illingworth, Mollie Illingworth, Vanessa
  • Artist (Cartoonist / Illustrator)
Mid 20th century painter, illustrator and cartoonist. Probably the most prolific female cartoonist of her generation, Horseman was almost certainly the most visible. Never out of work, she enthusiastically diversified into whatever was offered in these exceptionally misogynist years of cheap syndicated imports.
