WILLIAM NEWMAN (1817-1870): A VICTORIAN CARTOONIST IN LONDON AND NEW YORK.

The article documents the whole career and artistic development of William Newman, one of the founding cartoonists of the internationally famous British humor periodical "Punch." Newman's years at the center of British cartooning, through the difficulties that drove him to emigrate in the U.S. and to his popularity in New York, were traced. He became the first artist to immortalize U.S. President Abraham Lincoln in caricature and an innovator who helped to redefine the possibilities of the American cartoon. Two untapped contemporary sources, Herbert Clayton and Thomas Butler Gunn, were also being referred to.
