William Haselden Big and Little Willie original cartoon artwork.
In 1903, William Haselden managed to obtain a full-time position on Alfred Harmsworth's new venture, the Daily Mirror as a cartoonist where he stayed until his retirement in 1940. At the Daily Mirror, Haselden originally started with political cartoons, but soon settled into his trademark style of gentle, conservative social commentary reflecting on middle class fashions and manners. During the First World War, Haselden established a popular reputation with his only truly sustained attempt at political caricature, the adventures of ‘Big and Little Willie’, mocking the Kaiser and his son, the Crown Prince. His work for the Daily Mirror was published in 29 volumes of Daily Mirror Reflections between 1906 and 1935.
