Life

Alfred Pearse was a son of the painter Joseph Salter Pearse (1823-1896). He attended the West London School of Art from 1872 to 1875 and studied woodcut . He worked for The Pictorial World magazine from 1879 to 1886 and took part in the Royal Colonial Tour from 1901 to 1903 as a draftsman for The Sphere magazine .

His drawings and caricatures were printed in The Illustrated London News , The Boy's Own Paper from 1878 to 1923 , The Strand Magazine , Cassell's Family Magazine and Punch . He illustrated a large number of books, in 1910 he created seven illustrations for a new edition of the detective novel The Moonstone . Pearse also wrote art reviews for the Manchester Guardian .

From 1909 he drew a weekly cartoon under the pseudonym A Patriot for the suffragette newspaper Votes for Women, founded in 1907 . In 1909 he helped Laurence Housman and Clemence Housman to set up the Suffrage Atelier , where posters, postcards, banners for demonstrations and other propaganda material were produced. Most of the WSPU posters are attributed to him.

After the war began in 1914, the women's suffrage movement stopped its activities, and Pearse worked as a war propagandist.
