Mark Wayner's series of 'Celebrities in Caricature', captures prominent figures of his day across a wide spectrum of the arts, including writers, artists, comedians, musicians, conductors and actor-managers, as well as aristocrats, politicians, sporting personalities and Jewish cultural figures. Wayner's caricature of writer and poet Louis Golding (1895 –1958) captures his deep-set eyes and slightly shy expression. Born in Manchester into a Ukranian-Jewish family, Golding was educated locally and at Queen’s College, Oxford. His novels draw on his Manchester Jewish background ('Doomington') and his bestselling novel, 'Magnolia Street' (1932), is based on Manchester’s Hightown in the 1920s. The painter Emanuel Levy later adapated the novel as a radio drama. In 1936 Golding was invited to give a lecture and poetry reading at Ben Uri, introduced by one of its founders, Mosheh Oved.
