Born into a poor family, Sidney Sime worked in a coal mine during his early years. Although he enjoyed a less distinguished education than Sir Edward Burne-Jones or Aubrey Beardsley, he managed to put himself through art school with distinction and entered into the magazine illustration business around the same time as Beardsley. — Paul O'Leary McCann
