David Wilson (1873-1935) was an Irish caricaturist, illustrator, and painter. As a young man he took evening classes in drawing while working in a bank in Belfast and then did what he had to do to have a better chance of turning his artistic talent into a flourishing career: he went to London where he became very successful indeed. For many years he was the chief cartoonist of the Daily Chronicle and later also of The Graphic, but he also contributed satirical drawings to many other high profile magazines of the day, such as Punch, London Opinion, The Sketch, and Tatler. During World War One he designed propaganda posters for the British government.
