Arthur Moreland (artist)

Moreland's cartoons were "noted for their pungent wit" and they are credited with having contributed to the Liberal landslide of 1906 and the party's subsequent revival.

[4] During World War I Moreland ceased drawing political cartoons and commenced a new career as a freelance artist for various newspapers and illustrated books for other authors.

These included The Gentle Golfer by Dr. T. P. MacNamara (1905), The Difficulties of Dr. Deguerre by Walter Hadwen (1926), and Lays from Lancashire by Nelson Jackson (1930).

In about 1930 a set of six postcards depicting his artwork of Dickens' characters was published by Samuels Limited.

[6] In 1939 he and his wife were living with his sisters Beatrice and Mary Elizabeth Moreland in Ulverston in Lancashire; at that time his occupation was listed as 'Artist (Retired)'.
