Worthington George Smith (23 March 1835 – 27 October 1917) was an English cartoonist and illustrator, archaeologist, plant pathologist, and mycologist. ==Background and career==
thumb Worthington G. Smith was born in Shoreditch, London, the son of a civil servant. He received an elementary education at a local school and was then apprenticed as an architect. He married Henrietta White in 1856 and the couple had seven children, only three of whom survived childhood.〔''Oxford Dictionary of National Biography'' http://www.oxforddnb.com/public/index.html?url=%2Findex.jsp〕 Smith worked for the architect Sir Horace Jones, becoming an expert draughtsman and a member of the Architectural Association.〔Bedfordshire Libraries: Worthington George Smith http://www.galaxy.bedfordshire.gov.uk/webingres/bedfordshire/vlib/0.digitised_resources/dunstable_digitisation_people_smith_about.htm〕 In 1861, however, he left the profession (having been required to design drains for Sir Horace) and embarked on a second career as a freelance illustrator. He put his former experience to use by producing illustrations for ''The Builder'' (a journal still published today) and continued as a regular contributor for the next twenty years.
