P. (William Powell) John Leech, His Life and Work, Vol. 2 [of 2] Produced by Chris Curnow and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net (This file was produced from images generously made available by The Internet Archive) "John Leech, His Life and Work, Vol. 2 [of 2]" by William Powell Frith is a biographical account that delves into the life and artistic contributions of the notable Victorian cartoonist and illustrator John Leech, written in the late 19th century. This volume, as part of a two-volume series, provides an in-depth perspective on Leech’s work, especially his influential role at "Punch," where he produced numerous illustrations and cartoons that captured the social and political nuances of his time. The opening portion introduces the foundation of Leech's career, particularly focusing on the launch of "Punch" in 1841. It recounts early perceptions of the paper, including Leech’s initial contributions that were met with skepticism. The narrative highlights Leech's talents, his interactions with contemporaneous artists, and his struggle against the technical demands of painting, which ultimately defined his preference for cartooning. Frith from the outset establishes an affectionate portrait of Leech, encapsulating his humor, modesty, and dedication to his craft, setting the tone for the rest of the book that aims to celebrate Leech's legacy and impact on the art of illustration.
