While working in the family metal business he studied part-time at Heatherley’s School of Fine Art and at the British Museum Students’ Group. He became an artist, typographer and printer. Inspired by William Blake and William Morris, Guthrie founding The Elf magazine in 1895 and the Pear Tree Press in 1899 in order to produce hand-crafted and fine quality books in the arts and crafts tradition.

His graphic work is sometimes experimental and often intense in feeling. The British Museum hold a large collection of his illustrations.
His son was the artist Robin Guthrie.
