Noel Counihan (1913 - 1986) was born in Melbourne and began his career as a press caricaturist, freelancing in Australia, New Zealand and Europe in the 1930s and 1940s. In between four- and six-year stints as a staff artist for the Melbourne Guardian, in the early 1950s he worked for the World Trade Union Movement in London. In Melbourne, throughout the 1950s and 1960s he exhibited pictures of miners, construction workers, demonstrations and other scenes of working-class life.
