died Oct. 6, 1896, London, Eng.
British caricaturist and novelist.
Forced to abandon painting for drawing when he was blinded in one eye, his skilled draftsmanship and engaging personality quickly established his success. His drawings for
Punch,
Once a Week, and
The Leisure Hour were acute commentaries on the Victorian scene. His highly successful novel
Trilby (1894), about an artist's model who falls under the spell of the musician Svengali, has entered popular mythology. His other novels were
Peter Ibbetson (1891) and
The Martian (1897). His granddaughter
Daphne du Maurier was also a writer.
