Illustrator, cartoonist and etcher born in Greenock, the son of a clerk. He studied art at Glasgow School of Art and then at the Slade School in London. He joined the staff of George Outram & Co. in 1919 as a cartoonist and illustrator, working for 'The Bulletin', 'The Glasgow Herald Trade Review' and 'The Scottish Field'. For 20 years, he contributed a daily cartoon to 'The Bulletin', retiring because of ill health. During his lifetime, he produced a large number of local etchings, as well as a number when on annual holiday in Spain and Portugal, and in 1936 he travelled with his wife Jean Niven to South Africa. He exhibited at the Royal Glasgow Institute of the Fine Arts. A large collection of etchings by Niven is held by the McLean Museum and Art Gallery. The National Gallery of Scotland also holds a cartoon by him.
