Charles H Bennett

Charles H Bennett

Charles Henry Bennett was a prolific Victorian illustrator who pioneered techniques in comic illustration. He wrote illustrated stories and illustrated many children's books. His work also appeared in Punch and other comic magazines and newspapers. He died in poverty at the age of 37. A benefit given at London's Adelphi Theatre for his widow and children shortly after his death was the occasion for the first public performance of Cox and Box.
