| biography:
| Caricaturist and illustrator, born in London, UK. He often contributed to topical magazines, and illustrated several children's books. His best-known work includes Grimm's German Popular Stories (1824–6) and Dickens's Oliver Twist (1837–9). In his later years he used his etchings and oil paintings in a vigorous protest against drunkenness, as in the series for ‘The Bottle’ (1847). |
