Career
Born in Bilston, West Midlands, Webster specialised in sporting cartoons. He originally worked in a railway booking office and taught himself to draw. He started out at the Sports Argus in Birmingham, then later the Evening News, before joining the Daily Mail in 1919.
He specialised in cartoons of horseracing, cricket and golf, and stayed at the Mail for over twenty years.
Webster also worked on caricaturising politicians, so much so that on the night of the 1929 general election, a selection of his cartoons was shown in public in London"s Trafalgar Square. He left the Daily Mail in 1940, but continued to draw for other newspapers, and his own range of annuals, until 1960.
He died in 1962, aged 76.
