Ed McLachlan 1940–2024

Ed McLachlan was one of the great modern cartoonists and a regular in the pages of national newspapers during the heyday of Fleet Street, where his eye for a sharp gag and ability to distil the quip into a single frame was legendary.

Ed was born in Leicestershire and studied at Leicester College of Art in the late 1950s. Soon after graduating he sent cartoons to Punch magazine, where he became a regular contributor from 1961. From there, his work was picked up by the likes of the Mirror, the Evening Standard, the Telegraph, the Spectator, the New Statesman, and Private Eye.

Folio’s founder, Nick Dawe, was a great friend of Ed’s and worked with him for decades, even before Folio was established in 1976. Ed, whose pen flowed with ideas, continued working through to the end, leaving a rare unfinished work on his drafting table.

Farewell Ed, you will be much missed.
Nick and the Folio team
