Harry Lane was a magazine illustrator working from the early 1900’s through the First World War mainly in pen and ink. I have been unable to find out much in the way of biographical information on him as yet. He was however, quite prolific and had many illustrations published in magazines of the period including ‘Union Jack’ ‘The Penny Popular’ ‘The Dreadnought’ and in particular stories featuring Sexton Blake for the Amalgamated Press.
