Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: FRA-GAE
FURNISS, HARRY (1854 ) , British caricaturist and illustrator, was born at Wexford, Ireland, of English and Scottishparents. He was educated in Dublin, and in his schooldays edited a Schoolboy's Punch in close imitation of the
original
 . He came to London when he was nineteen, and began to draw for the illustrated papers, being for some years a regular contributor to the Illustrated London News. His first drawing in Punch appeared in 188o, and he joined its staff in 1884. He illustrated
Lucy
 's " Diary of Toby, M.P.," in Punch, where his political caricatures became a popular feature. Among his other successes were a
series
  of " Puzzle Heads," and his annual " Royal
Academy
  guy'd." In Royal
Academy
  Antics (1890) he published a volume of caricatures of the
work
  of leading artists. He resigned from the staff of Punch in 1894, produced for a short time a weekly comic
paper
  Lika Joko, and in 1898 began a humorous monthly,
Fair
  Game; but these were short-lived. Among the numerous books he illustrated were James Payn's Talk of the Town, Lewis
Carroll
 's Sylvie and Bruno, Gilbert a Beckett's Comic Blackstone, G. E. Farrow's Wallypug Book, and his own novel, Poverty Bay (1005). Our Joe, his
great
  Fight (1903), was a collection of
original
  cartoons. His volume of reminiscences, Confessions of a Caricaturist (1901), was followed by Harry Furniss at
Home
  (1904). In 1905 he published How to draw in Pen and Ink, and produced the first number of Harry Furniss's Christmas Annual.
