Kerwin Maegraith, caricaturist, journalist and true Aussie larrikin, encountered the most famous people of his time from the 1920's to the Sixties. Kerwin's brushes with fame included Lawrence of Arabia, George Bernard Shaw, H. G. Wells, John Logie Baird (inventor of TV), J. M. Barrie (author, Peter Pan) and Sir Thomas Beecham.G. K.

Kerwin, who was left-handed, did drawings, cartoons and (kind, flattering) caricatures that were widely published from the 1920s to the 1960s. e was especially interested in cricket and in 1934, while in England, drew sporting caricatures of the Australian XI touring cricket team for London newspapers and magazines. For this, Florence Taylor claimed, he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts (he was also proud that 'Three British Kings' - Edward VIII (the Duke of Windsor), George V and George VI - had 'stood for Kerwin Maegraith to draw them'. His page of caricatures 'Some Sydney Artists', published in the Sydney Mail on 11 August 1937 (p.32), included Joan Morrison and 25 men connected with that year's Artists' Ball identified as: A. Aria, Will Ashton (Director of the NAG NSW), Jim Bancks, Maurice Bramley, Stan Cross (President of the Ball Committee), George Finey, John Frith, Tom Glover, Raynor Hoff ('brilliant sculptor'), Arthur Horner, Lahm, Norman Lindsay, Peter Lindsay, George Little, Brodie Mack ('cartoons sporting celebrities'), Will Mahoney, Arthur Mailey (cricketer and cricket cartoonist), Emile Mercier, Syd Miller, Syd Nicholls, Virgil Reilly, Dan Russell, Jim Russell (Secretary of the Ball Committee), Ted Scorfield ('the man who so happily satirises life's foibles') and Frank Whitmore.Maegraith wrote the words and lyrics of It Ain't Cricket, a musical revue performed in Melbourne in 1935 starring Don Bradman. He was also interested in surf lifesaving and flying. He wrote a memoir (an undated recording of him reading from it is at ML OH 37/1-8), and a biography of Florence Taylor (a recording of him reading from it, ML OH 37/9-21, c.1969).The ML's Bulletin collection holds 109 original caricatures by Maegraith of men from South Australia (mainly), WA and Victoria (1924-33 and undated). He also contributed to Beckett's Budget, e.g. 'MADGE: "Why did you quarrel with Ethel last night?"/ MABEL: "She called me an old scandalmonger."/ MADGE: "But, my dear, you're not old!"' (25 November 1927, 18). He wrote reports of visits to country towns, which he illustrated with caricatures, e.g. Kerwin Maegraith visits Griffith 14 June 1927, 6. ML also has a Sam Hood photocopy of a 1945 caricature of Sammy Lee by 'newspaper artist Kerwin Meagraith'. He drew instant caricatures on TV.His book (p.27), made up of cartoons from Construction, Australasian Engineer and Building, edited by Florence Taylor, includes If Joern Utzon Is Not Long, We Will Wait For The Opera House! - 10 amiable caricature heads of Sydney businessmen in the building industry dominated by a full-length and very, very 'long' Utzon taking up the length of the page ('Up in the Clouds Joern Utzon hopes they will be getting going pretty quickly on The Opera House').
