biography
From Wikipedia contributors. "Richard Doyle (illustrator)." Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia.
Born at 17 Cambridge Terrace, London, one of seven children of Irish cartoonist John Doyle[1] (known as 'H.B'), a noted political caricaturist, Doyle had three brothers, James, Charles and Henry Edward Doyle,[1] who were also artists. The young Doyle had no formal art training other than his father's studio, but from an early age displayed a gifted ability to depict scenes of the fantastic and grotesque. Throughout his life he was fascinated by fairy tales. He produced his first complete illustrated book, Home for the Holidays, when he was twelve; it was published posthumously in 1887.
He joined the staff of Punch in 1843[1] aged 19, remaining there for seven years.
He was the uncle of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, author of the Sherlock Holmes stories.
