Watson Charlton

Watson Charlton was a British illustrator of children's books. He was born in Sunderland, Durham, possibly the son of the painter John William Charlton (1848–1917), although there is no mention of him in any records relating to John Charlton, whose two recorded sons were not artists, and both died in the First World war.
