Labour Member of Parliament for Peterborough [his place of birth] from 1929-1931. James Francis [Frank] Horrabin was a prolific and culturally diverse illustrator. He drew his first maps for the Daily News during the Balkan Wars of 1912-13. He created the illustrations for H. G. Wells' Outline of History. After the first World War, having started as a newspaper strip cartoonist in Sheffield, he went to London to work as art director for the Daily News; he also lectured on geography at the Central Labour College in London. In 1919 he began his daily panel 'The Adventures of the Noah Family' in the Daily News. The panel eventually became a family strip cartoon, which has been collected into several hard back books, most notably the Japhet and Happy Annuals and Summer Books between 1932 and 1952. 'The Noah Family' moved to the News Chronicle in 1930, and was continued into the 1940's. In 1922 he created the 'Dot and Carrie' strip for the Star. His work is marked by fine colouring, well phrased sentiments and many new ways of telling tales visually. Pencil message dated 1927 inside the front cover, small burn mark to the fore edge of the front free end paper and title page, page edges dusty, soiling to the lower cover. Member of the P.B.F.A. ILLUSTRATED (Picture Book).
