史都華·奧爾
幽默水彩畫家與插畫家
威廉·斯圖爾特·奧爾是一位蘇格蘭水彩畫家和書籍插畫家。 奧爾出生於格拉斯哥，是當地商人威廉·奧爾的兒子，年輕時在格拉斯哥藝術學院接受教育。 In 1907, The Studio reviewed his work and commented "Stewart Orr, one of the younger men, is an artist with that rare quality, a sense of humour. This characteristic will be applicable in the role of book illustrator, in which the artist is actively engaged at the present time." 奧爾與瑪麗·史都華·道格拉斯結婚，並於1925年當選為皇家水彩畫學會會員。1927年，《藝術界名人錄》將他描述為「（主要）水彩畫家，偶爾從事書籍插圖」。 As an illustrator of children's books, Orr has been compared with his contemporary Harry B. Neilson. In a book on Arthur Rackham, Fred Gettings says "Along with Neilson, we may list Stewart Orr and Harry Rowntree... Neilson, and indeed a whole host of Victorian draughtsmen who told animal moralities and fairy stories, portray their animals in clothing... However, the important point is that, for all their human clothing, for all that they speak where necessary with human tongues, and point their morals with something verging on human gesture, these creatures always look like animals."
