  Ronald Searle Biography
Ronald Searle was born March 3, 1920 in Cambridge, England into a working class family.
Searle was victim and observer and recorder of atrocities and diseases and deaths.

 Guardian Unlimited | Archive Search
Searle, while clearly not dead, is like a figure from another age: that inter-war period when the arts were not divorced, when painting, sculpture, music and literature were coeval.
The East Anglian background is significant, as Searle acknowledges in the brief memoir that serves as an introduction to Ronald Searle In Perspective.
Searle's detachment is partly professional - the belief that the artist and satirist must retain a distance and protect his freedom.

 Hbc Heritage - Corporate Collections - Art - Ronald Searle
Searle's style is remarkably detailed and yet gives the appearance of having been drawn in haste.
Searle's work has come to be highly valued by collectors who perceive the artist's skill in being able to strike that note of satire, which sometimes verges on the daring or shocking, but never quite manages to completely offend.
According to Searle's informative, albeit unscientific depiction, no matter how you try it, the result is the same: placing a live beaver on top of one's head is wrong.

 St Trinian's School - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It is reputed that the gym-slip style of dress worn by the girls was closely modelled on the uniform of the school that Searle's daughter Kate attended, JAGS in Dulwich.
There was a real St. Trinnean's [sic] School for Girls in Edinburgh until the end of World War II, and it did provide the name for Searle's fictional girl's school (the daughters of a friend were pupils).
The school's existence came to light when The Scotsman announced a reunion coffee party for old girls in September, 1955 (the fictional school had become so fixed in the national consciousness by this time that the typesetter adopted Searle's spelling in the advertisement rather than the correct spelling).

 8: II. Ronald Searle & the St Trinian's Cartoons   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Searle, though, continued cartooning and drawing secretly during his time as a prisoner of war, recording many of the events which took place.
By 10 August 1945 Searle's health had became so poor that he had to have an ulcer on his leg surgically excavated, but on 15 August 1945 the ceasefire was declared, and on 27 September he began the journey home, arriving in Liverpool on 24 October 1945.
An additional reason for Searle's action may have been a growing public concern about his cartoons' influence on the young, fuelled by the tendency for the media to produce stories such as "St Trinian's Girls Burned Their School" and to blame Searle for the results.
