John Gilmour (cartoonist)
John Henry Gilmour was a New Zealand cartoonist. He was born in Christchurch and drew for the Canterbury Times, the Christchurch Star, the New Zealand Free Lance and the New Zealand Truth. He lived in England for several years from 1932, where he drew for the Evening Standard. He returned to New Zealand in the late 1930s, again working for Truth and the Star.
Ian F Grant has referred to Gilmour as a 'political chameleon': Gilmour 'drew cartoons for the Free Lance depicting the Labour Party as Bolsheviks. He went on to become the cartoonist for the Labour Party weekly the New Zealand Worker.'
