This changed when he was hired by the newspaper "London Evening News" to create illustrations. The editorial staff asked him to create a weekly comic strip about the historical development of the city. In doing so, Jackson was able to transform previously little-known historical facts into humorous illustrations. The comic strip, published every Wednesday, was so popular that it was published from 1949 to 1980. It ended at the same time as the high-circulation London evening newspaper was disbanded.
Already in his early years, Peter Jackson, who was born in Brighton, showed an artistic talent. Because of his extraordinary talent for drawing, he was accepted at the Willedsen School of Art after graduating from high school. As a graduate of the art school, he soon sought employment as an illustrator and applied to news papers on his own initiative. This is how he got his first commissions to create a comic about historic London. He also took part in a comic book publication, where he published picture stories with religious content. These stories reflected the religious faith of the artist, who also worked as a teacher in a Sunday school and used his drawings for educational purposes, among other things. In addition, the artist published several books about London together with writers, which he designed graphically and carefully colored. Jackson also published anthologies that summarized his graphic works on a specific theme.
Privately, Jackson was an avid collector of picture stories and other artistic works. Therefore he was a regular guest at scrap dealers and auctions. In this way he assembled a comprehensive collection of tens of thousands of art prints, engravings and photographs. Some of his collection pieces on the city of London have also been included in exhibitions of various renowned museums in England. The artistic work of Peter Jackson has also been the subject of several exhibitions. There were exhibited drawings of bird's-eye views of some London districts, drawn reconstructions of the historical London, self made maps and sculptures. Jackson spent most of his life in London, the city he loved and which was the main subject of his artistic works. The artist spent the last part of his life in the London district of Northwood, where he died in 2003.
