David Henry Souter

Australian journalist and illustrator

David Henry Souter (30 March 1862 – 22 September 1935) was an Australian artist and journalist.A stocky and humorous man, Souter wrote short stories, verse, light articles and plays, with a capable and ready pen.

He did a fair amount of painting in watercolor, but his reputation rests on his black-and-white work, which, considering the mass of it, was very even in quality.

He also illustrated volumes written by Ethel Turner and other Australian authors.
