# "Who's Who in Judge" This is a biographical profile of **Gilbert Wilkinson**, a pen-and-ink artist from Liverpool, England. The page introduces him as a celebrated illustrator whose signature was famously difficult to decipher ("no one has ever been able to make out"). According to the text, Wilkinson studied at Liverpool's Art Institute, then relocated to London where he became a prolific contributor to English humorous magazines. He was a member of the Savage and London Sketch Clubs—prestigious artist associations. The notation that he remained "single" at publication appears to be typical Judge-era biographical trivia meant to entertain readers with personal details about notable cultural figures of the time.
