Illustrations by Douglas Tempest (1887-1954)
Douglas Tempest was born in Thurlton, Norfolk, in 1887. The family subsequently moved to Leeds, Yorkshire. He studied at Leeds School of Art and in 1912 began work designing comic images for Bamforth & Co.
Tempest continued to produce cards for Bamforth, joined by two other comic artists (whom he trained to work in his style) in order to keep up with the demand, until his death in 1954.
