Bateman was a cartoonist, floruit the 1920s. He is best remembered for his "The Man Who … ." cartoons, in each of which some lone figure commits an offense against the social or sumptuary codes of upper-middle-class Britons.

Samples:

• the man who lit his cigar before the Royal Toast
• the shareholder who dared to criticize the chairman’s report
• the man who bid a half-guinea at Tattersall’s (a famous firm of bloodstock auctioneers, still in business)
• the girl who ordered a glass of milk at the Café Royal
• the man who asked for a second helping at a grand banquet.
