H. R. Millar
Harold Robert Millar (1869-1942), also known as H. R. Millar, was a prolific illustrator and cartoonist. Millar was born in Dumfries, Scotland. He was educated at the Birmingham Municipal School of Art. Influenced by the free ink style of French illustrators Jean Gigoux (1806-1894) and Daniel Vierge (1851-1904), Millar contributed to numerous periodicals including Judy, The Girl's Own Paper, Fun, Cassell's Family Magazine, The Idler, The Strand Magazine, and The Quiver. Millar was particularly well-known for illustrating stories set in the East, using his extensive collection of artifacts and weapons in his compositions.
