Antonia Yeoman (British, 1907–1970), known professionally as “Anton,” was a cartoonist and illustrator active in mid-20th-century British periodicals. She contributed regularly to Punch from the 1930s onward and worked under a pen name shared early in her career with her twin brother, Harold Underwood Thompson. Yeoman produced illustrations for magazines, books, and advertising, becoming a frequent contributor to British humorous and editorial publications during the 1940s and 1950s.
