Ern Shaw: The Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up at Ferens Art GalleryErn Shaw: The Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up at Ferens Art Gallery

Ern Shaw (1891 - 1986): The Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up.

Gallery 4
Discover the work of the prolific Hull born cartoonist Ern Shaw, who produced many cartoons and caricatures, illustrated books and designed games for children.

Come and see a broad range of Ern Shaw’s work from the 1920s to the 1980s. From sporting cartoons and political drawings, to designs for children’s card games, there’s lots to see.

Ern Shaw developed his skills at an early age by taking a correspondence course in drawing. At the age of 12 he had his first successful drawing published, which set him off on his amazingly productive career spanning over 70 years. He was inspired by the cartoonist, Tom Webster (1886-1962), a British cartoonist and caricaturist who specialised in sporting cartoons. Able to capture a humorous scene, or sum up the outcome of a football match with great ease, Shaw’s simplistic drawing style made people smile.

On display will be a selection of original cartoons for Hull City Football Club’s Tigers magazine, Hull Daily Mail and the Dalesman Magazine. Also colourful ink drawings of cheerful characters, and working drawings for children’s games. These plump characters, engaged in adventures, are very characteristic of Ern Shaw himself. There will also be storybooks, colouring books and games, all illustrated by Ern Shaw and some originally sold in British toy and bookshops.
