Artist
Walter Wilkinson
Walter Wilkinson is an artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.
Walter Wilkinson made detailed line drawings of puppeteers and their stages. In the 1920s he sketched George Speaight performing with a Punch & Judy show, preserving the lively gestures and carved wooden figures. His drawings belong to a small, playful corner of early 20th-century British art that kept folk traditions alive. Tap any scrap of curtain or puppet to step into Speaight’s booth.
