Illustrator and author who worked for Golden Cockerel Press in its declining years, in a style reminiscent of John Buckland Wright. (http://www.artbiogs.co.uk/1/artists/yunge-bateman-john-erskine-james) Although credited in Swift Annual 5 (1958) as Younge Bateman, the artist John Yunge-Bateman appeared elsewhere in the 1950s (e.g. TV Comic Annual) drawing nature subjects, although he is probably best known for a couple of limited-edition slipcased books he illustrated for the Golden Cockeral Press. The Yunge-Batemans seem to be centred in Folkestone, Kent with a number of notable relatives: I believe the hyphenated name comes from a combination of two marriages. [The article goes on to detail the genealogy ....All this family history doesn't tell us much about John Yunge-Bateman the artist. Was he the former Navy Commander or was it a son? The internet doesn't help much. The Bridgeman Art Library simply lists him as active in 1946-59. As you can see from the list below, he was actually active well into the 1960s and Bridgeman, oddly, has some examples of his work, one of which they date c.1940, which means he flourished c.1940-65 at least. ...."... according to Guy Hartcup in Camouflage (1980), Yunge-Bateman was head of a British naval camouflage section during World War II. http://bearalley.blogspot.nl/2006/11/j-yunge-bateman.html "John Yunge-Bateman, aka “Yunge".

[who] is working here very much in the style of tradition of Aubrey Beardsley, blending the erotic and grotesque in black ink. Like Beardsley, Yunge-Bateman clearly draws on Japanese woodblock prints, blending various art styles to create his lush, busy costumes and to convey the play's madness.
