John Leech (29 August 1817 – 29 October 1864) was a British caricaturist and illustrator.[1] He was best known for his work for Punch, a humorous magazine for a broad middle-class audience, combining verbal and graphic political satire with light social comedy. Leech catered to contemporary prejudices, such as anti-Americanism and antisemitism and supported acceptable social reforms. Leech's critical yet humorous cartoons on the Crimean War helped shape public attitudes toward heroism, warfare, and Britons' role in the world.[2][3]
Leech also enjoys fame as the first illustrator of Charles Dickens' 1843 novella A Christmas Carol.[4] He was furthermore a pioneer in comics, creating the recurring character Mr. Briggs and some sequential illustrated gags.[4]
