Literature
Henry Mayo Bateman (15 February 1887 – 11 February 1970, Gozo) was a British humorous artist and cartoonist.
H. M. Bateman was noted for his ""The Man Who..."" series of cartoons, featuring comically exaggerated reactions to minor and usually upper-class social gaffes, such as ""The Man Who Lit His Cigar Before the Royal Toast"", ""The Man Who Threw a Snowball at St. Moritz"" and ""The Boy Who Breathed on the Glass at the British Museum."
