originally was a medical student, though turned to full-time illustrating when his
teachers became aware of his superb anatomical drawings and began commissioning him to do
portraits. Leech is best known for his contribution to Punch Magazine which
published over 3000 of his drawings and 600 cartoons.
The prints shown here are from illustrations
Leech did to accompany sporting stories, most focusing on equestrian themes. |
