Artist:
David Henry Souter (1862-1935)
Souter was an artist and journalist born on 30 March 1862 at Aberdeen, Scotland. Apprenticed at 12 to a house-painter and signwriter, he acquired a good grounding in drawing at the local art school under instructors from London and earned five shillings each for anatomical illustrations.
A short, thickset and immensely humorous man who never lost his Scottish burr, Souter included Jack Brereton among his many friends. Survived by three daughters and two sons, Souter died at his Bondi home on 22 September 1935.
