'Won't it be rather like "Rep"?'

Sir Max Beerbohm was educated at Charterhouse and then at Merton College, Oxford. As an essayist and caricaturist, he published in a variety of fashionable magazines while his caricature works were regularly exhibited in London at the Carfax Gallery and Leicester Gallery in the early 20th Century. Beerbohm was part of an Oxford social circle and at various points had Oscar Wilde, Aubrey Beardsley, Somerset Maugham and Laurence Olivier amongst his acquaintance. He married actress Florence Kahn in 1910 and in 1939 was knighted by George VI. Beerbohm died of TB at Rapello, at the age of 83.
