Joseph Morewood Staniforth (better known as J.M. Staniforth) (1863 - 21 December 1921) was a Welsh editorial cartoonist best known for his work in the ''Western Mail'', ''Evening Express'' and Sunday weekly the ''News of the World''〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Joseph Morewood Staniforth )〕 Staniforth has been described as '...the most important visual commentator on Welsh affairs ever to work in the country.'〔Lord, Peter 'The Visual Culture of Wales: Industrial Society' University of Wales Press; Cardiff (1998) p.198 ISBN 978-0-7083-1496-8〕
==Life history==
Born in Gloucester in 1863, the son of a tool repairer. His family moved to Cardiff in South Wales in 1870, and after leaving school at 15, Staniforth trained as a lithographic printer for the ''Western Mail'' before becoming an art reviewer.〔''The Welsh Academy Encyclopaedia of Wales''. John Davies, Nigel Jenkins, Menna Baines and Peredur Lynch (2008) p.833 ISBN 978-0-7083-1953-6〕 A promising young artist he studied at the Cardiff School of Art, which was run from rooms above the Royal Arcade in the town centre. Among his classmates was the sculptor Goscombe John.〔 Staniforth originally worked primarily in paint, but slowly moved from brush work to inks where he found a talent for cartoons and caricature.〔 He started publishing cartoons in 1889 after being spotted by the ''Western Mails editor Henry Lascelles Carr.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=J. M. Staniforth, 'Cartoons of the Welsh Coal Strike April 1st to Sept 1st 1898' )〕
Usually published in the ''Western Mail'', Staniforth's drawings and cartoons covered political and social unrest in Wales from 1890 through to the First World War. Although his cartoons followed editorial lines, with editor Carr appearing in several stating his own opinion, Staniforth himself veered more towards the more tolerant Liberal-Labour movement and would attack both capitalist coal owners and the socialist unions.
In 1911 Staniforth was commissioned, by then Chancellor of the Exchequer, David Lloyd George to produce a piece of artwork to commemorate the investiture of Prince Edward as Prince of Wales at Caernarfon Castle. The artwork, in pencil and watercolour, was kept by Lloyd George who hung it in his study.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Rare cartoon portraying Prince of Wales' investiture up for sale )〕 He was replaced at the Western Mail by Leslie Illingworth upon his death in 1921.
