John Doyle
Portrait painter and caricaturist, born Dublin , Ireland , 1797 ; died London, England , 1868 . He came to London, 1821 , as a portrait painter, but began his clever and good-humored caricatures in 1827 . About 600 of these are in the British Museum and constitute a graphic history of contemporary events. He concealed his identity under his double signature disguised as H.B. Father of Richard Doyle .
