'''John Henry Chinner''' (30 June 1865 – 15 December 1933) was a South Australian artist, best known for his caricatures of prominent people.
==History==
Chinner was born in [Brighton, South Australia](/source/Brighton%2C_South_Australia), son of George Williams Chinner (c. 1824 – 27 May 1880), and his second wife Mary Chinner, née Edwards.
:Chinner, ''pḕre'', arrived in SA before 1847, had a drapery shop on Rundle Street. He married Caroline Bowen (c. 1831 – 29 April 1861) on 6 April 1849. By 1859 he was a Hindley Street publican, Mayor of Brighton in 1860 and longtime councillor. He married Mary Edwards on 8 September 1863.
In 1879 he was enrolled at [Prince Alfred College](/source/Prince_Alfred_College) as a [boarder](/source/Boarding_school), and later was a prominent batsman in the annual cricket match against [St Peter's College](/source/St_Peter's_College%2C_Adelaide).{{efn|His elder brother, the musician [William Bowen Chinner](/source/William_Bowen_Chinner) (1850 – 2 July 1915) was educated at [St Peter's College](/source/St_Peter's_College%2C_Adelaide). See his article for more family details.}}
:This was the start of a lifelong commitment as an active member and finally president of the PAC Old Collegians' Association, longtime member of the College Committee and for 22 years the Council's Honorary Secretary.[{{cite news|url=https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/215833771?searchTerm=fulltext%3A%22John%20Henry%20Chinner%22 |newspaper=[Australian Christian Commonwealth](/source/Australian_Christian_Commonwealth) |date=9 February 1934 |title=The Late Mr J. H. Chinner |access-date=2 December 2020}}]
The family moved to [Parkside](/source/Parkside%2C_South_Australia) around 1880 and Chinner became involved with the local church literary society, taught bible classes, and was promoted by [Alfred Catt](/source/Alfred_Catt) to Sunday school superintendent.
His devout, methodical, serious nature and no-nonsense leadership style made the Parkside Wesleyan Methodist Sunday school an example that other churches sought to emulate.[
His admiration for the [Song of Australia](/source/Song_of_Australia) as a National Anthem was tempered by [Caroline Carleton](/source/Caroline_Carleton)'s lack of reference to God, which Chinner made good with an additional verse:
{{poemquote|There is a land, a morning land,
Which rose from nought at God's command,
Where peace and truth stand hand in hand;
Australia!
Lord, purge these shores suffused with light
From sins abhorrent to Thy sight,
Guard Thou with all Thy gracious might,
Australia! Australia! Australia!][}}

His interest in caricature was first shown with contributions to the Literary Society's magazine, in which he published sketches of fellow-members, and it was not long before his work was to be seen in the pages of ''[Quiz](/source/Quiz_(Adelaide_newspaper))'', ''[The Bulletin](/source/The_Bulletin_(Australian_periodical))'' and London ''[Punch](/source/Punch_(magazine))''.][{{cite book| last1=McCulloch| first1=Alan| last2=Nodrum| first2=Charles| title=Encyclopedia of Australian Art| publisher=Hutchinson of Australia| year=1984| isbn=978-0-0914-8560-3}}]
He was a Fellow of the [South Australian Society of Arts](/source/South_Australian_Society_of_Arts), and was urged by [H. P. Gill](/source/H._P._Gill) to make a profession of his hobby.[
Outside these interests he was an accountant — he was for 31 years Adelaide manager for the Atlas Insurance Company, retiring in January 1925.][{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article73437164 |title=Social to Mr Chinner |newspaper=[The Advertiser (Adelaide)](/source/The_Advertiser_(Adelaide)) |location=South Australia |date=3 February 1925 |accessdate=13 December 2020 |page=11 |via=Trove}}]
==''Notable Citizens''==
Chinner produced a series of around 250 caricatures between 1923 and 1928 for the Adelaide ''Saturday Journal'',[{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article64308582 |title=Notable Citizens in Caricature |newspaper=[The Register (Adelaide)](/source/The_Register_(Adelaide)) |volume=LXXXVIII |issue=25,773 |location=South Australia |date=4 August 1923 |accessdate=2 December 2020 |page=12 |via=National Library of Australia}}] No. 1 being of the South Australian Governor, Sir [Tom Bridges](/source/Tom_Bridges).[{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article199232071 |title=Notable Citizens |newspaper=[The Saturday Journal](/source/The_Saturday_Journal) |volume=LVIII |issue=16190 |location=South Australia |date=28 July 1923 |accessdate=2 December 2020 |page=17 |via=National Library of Australia}}]
Many of these were also carried by sister-publications ''[The Register](/source/South_Australian_Register)'' and ''[The Observer](/source/The_Observer_(Adelaide))''.
The last of the series may have been of [Charles Bastard](/source/Charles_Bastard), lessee of Adelaide's City Baths.[{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article199980191 |title=Advertising |newspaper=[Saturday Journal](/source/Saturday_Journal) |volume=XLIII |issue=16447 |location=South Australia |date=30 June 1928 |accessdate=2 December 2020 |page=13 |via=National Library of Australia}}] Around 180 of these are listed below:

James Alfred Pearce (1873–1944) drew caricatures in a similar style for the Adelaide ''[News](/source/The_News_(Adelaide))'' in a series entitled "Familiar Figures" in 1930. No. 19, Frank L.
