George Goodwin Butterworth (1905–1988) worked as a British political, strip and sports cartoonist, and later a book illustrator.
During this period, Butterworth was illustrating stories for various newspapers and publications including programs for the Manchester United football organization, the Evening and Sunday Chronicle.
His daily cartoons during this period proved to be so successful, both nationally and internationally that he soon came to the attention of Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini.
These years of austerity, rationing, world crisis, and financial upheaval were all easy ammunition for his popular daily cartoons.
An exhibition of George Butterworth's work was held at the Political Cartoon Gallery London September to October 2007.
George's widow, Betty Butterworth, generously gave English Heritage a large collection of his original cartoons and ephemera.
