Richard "Dickie" Doyle (September 1824 – 11 December 1883) was a notable illustrator of the Victorian era. His work frequently appeared, amongst other places, in ''Punch magazine''; he drew the cover of the first issue, and designed the magazine's masthead, a design that was used for over a century.〔 (【引用サイトリンク】work=Catholic Encyclopedia )〕 ==Biography== Born at 17 Cambridge Terrace, London, one of seven children of Irish cartoonist John Doyle (known as 'H.B'), a noted political caricaturist, Doyle had two brothers, James and Charles, 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 aged 19, remaining there for seven years. He was the uncle of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, author of the Sherlock Holmes stories.〔(【引用サイトリンク】author=Christopher Roden )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Richard Doyle (illustrator)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
