In Pursuit of Rare Meats (1926–7) in the restaurant of the Tate Gallery (now Tate Britain). He also did numerous book illustrations and much work for the stage, including ballet and opera. He was killed in action in the Second World War. His brother
Sir Laurence Whistler (1912–2000), a writer and glass engraver, published several books on him.
