Born in Sydney in 1884, Jardine joined the Australian Star as an illustrator aged 26, in 1910 where he worked for the next 20 years. While working at the Sun, he achieved widespread recognition for his full page black and white illustrations. During the Second World War he was commissioned to produce posters for the Department of Defence.
