John Doyle (artist)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

John Doyle (1797 Dublin – February 1, 1868) was an artist and notable[1][2] Victorian illustrator, producing political caricatures for The Times between 1829 and 1851.[1][3] He was born into an upper class, but not wealthy, Roman Catholic family and moved to London in 1821[1] where he exhibited his portraits at the Royal Academy, but not selling enough he changed to lithography for which he was to become famous. He always signed his work as "H.B." and was only known as such by most people at the time. He was the father of Charles Doyle (father of Arthur Conan Doyle),[4] Richard Doyle (illustrator) (1824-1883), Henry Edward Doyle (1822-1892) and James Doyle (1827-1892).
