The Admiral and the Con Man

The art director at The New Yorker knew Searle was the right illustrator for this story! (from 2002)

The Mythical Fortune That Fuelled America’s Greatest Fraud

Posing as a British lord, Oscar Hartzell convinced thousands of Americans that they could get a piece of the Sir Francis Drake estate—a multibillion-dollar inheritance that didn’t exist.

 

Slave

Historical illustration for 1950s Punch magazine described as "A bound African bent inside the map of Africa is ready to break his shackles". 

The original art sold at auction in California a couple of years ago.

Men Only

Men Only was another early men's magazine like London Opinion or Lilliput where Searle found employment immediately after the war. And, as I've mentioned in posts on those publications, we see Searle developing his style; sometimes appropriating the style of other successful cartoonists and illustrators of the time like Anton and James Fitton. Even his signature is evolving.
