LINLEY SAMBOURNE (PAUL HOLBERTON) (PB)

For more than forty years Linley Sambourne was a draftsman for the comic magazine Punch, rising to the position of 'First Cartoonist' in his final decade. When Sambourne died in 1910, a host of obituaries paid tribute to his long career as a cartoonist and his contribution to late Victorian and Edwardian political satire. In this text, Leonée Ormond uses Sambourne's own copious records, preserved intact in his house at 18 Stafford Terrace, Kensington, London, to tell his story.
