Tom Browne, a leading illustrator created the 'Striding Man' in 1908 as the symbol, logo, for Johnnie Walker Whisky. Browne's poster style was very much like his contemporaries, Cecil Aldin and Lance Thackeray, ideally suited to the emerging postcard publishing boom. Browne is famous for the strutting, monocled, top hat character and he depicted 'Johnny Walker' playing a series of sports including golf, skating, curling, cricket, coaching and shooting.
