George Henry Evison (25 November 18711928) was a Lancastrian artist and book illustrator who illustrated many cheaper books with his strong line drawings. He illustrated magazines with both line drawings and colour wash drawings.

Early life

Evison was born on 25 November 1871 in Bootle, Lancashire. He was the second child of William Flinn Evison (baptised 24 May 1831October 1872), a clerk for the Liverpool and America shipping trade, and Sarah Ellen Emson (born third quarter 1845), the daughter of a publican. His parents married on 28 May 1867 at St Simon's Parish in Liverpool. Evison's elder sister Lillie (c. 187025 December 1871) died shortly after he was born. Evison's father died the following year, before Evison's first birthday.

Training

Evison began his career with a five-year apprenticeship to a

He was attending the school in September 1888 when he was awarded a small class prize (7s. 6d.) for attendance and success in exams. However, at the end of his apprenticeship (c. 1890), he was not satisfied with lithography, and gave it up in favour of pen and ink. He studied pen and ink drawing full-time under

Exhibiting

Evison exhibited seven times at the Walker Gallery in Liverpool and four times at the Royal Academy. His pieces at the Royal Academy were story illustrations in at least two cases. At least one of his works shown at the Walker Gallery resulted in a sale, ''Tea-Time'' sold for £10 in 1894.

Evison was a regular illustrator for George Newnes' '' Wide World Magazine''. He did approximately two dozen illustrations for ''From Job to Job Around the World'' by Alfred C. B. Fletcher in '' Wide World Magazine'' Volume 37, May–October 1916. The serial story covers the adventures of two young Americans who set out from San Francisco to travel around the world with only $10 between them.

Book Illustration

Evison seems to have made a slow start at book illustration. It was only at the end of the first decade of the 20th century that he began to illustrate any significant number of books, and this grew to a flood with his illustrations of the '' Daily Mailsixpenny novels. The following list of books illustrated by Evison is far from complete. The principle sources are searches of the

Example of book illustrations

The following illustrations are not from the cheap editions which featured Evison's strong pen and ink drawings, but from a full-priced Christmas book. The book was ''Under Honour's Flag'' {Frederick Warne & Co., London, (1907) by Rev. Eric Lisle.{{refn, group=note, The book centres on a boy from a difficult background whose heroic rescues from fire and water help to establish him in Public School. Kirkpatrick describes the book, as ''a throwback to the nineteenth century didactic school story, where the saving of a life is placed strongly in a religious and moral context.''{{r, Kirkpatrick-2000, p= Evison provide eight illustrations for the book, painted rather than in the pen and ink which he used for cheaper editions.

Death

Evison died in the second quarter of 1928,{{r, Death-GHEvison probably in early June. He was buried on 5 June 1928 at All Saints Cemetery in Harrow.{{r, Burial-Evison At the time of his death, he was still living at his cousin's house at Fulwood, Royston Park, Pinner, where he had lived since at least 1905.{{r, Evison-Winner He appears not to have left a will.

Assessment

Houfe states that Evison was a ''particularly good figure artist'' and that he used ''pen and ink with heavy body colour''.{{r, Houfe-1978, p=297. Thorpe noted that his half-tone drawings in the ''

'' were promising.{{r, Thorpe-1935, p=144 A profound challenge for greater recognition of Evison is that a good deal of book illustration, at least, was for ephemeral editions such as the '' Daily Mail'' sixpenny editions. Such cheap editions uses cheap paper and only the boldest of pen and ink art reproduced well. Evison's bold pen and ink drawings were well suited to this constraint. His magazine illustrations covered a much broader range, and were not just restricted to pen and ink work.
