George du Maurier
|
|
(1834–96) Cartoonist and novelist, son of an English mother and French-born father. He became best known for his society pictures in Punch, detailed drawings of the social life of the rich, accompanied by often over-elaborate humorous captions (his best known is the *curate's egg). He had an immensely successful second career as a popular novelist, in particular with *Trilby.
