About the author

Writing as Graham Everitt, William Rodgers Richardson was a British solicitor and author. His best-known book, English Caricaturists and Graphic Humourists of the Nineteenth Century, studies the artists and satirists who used caricature to comment on public life in Britain.

The book stands out for linking visual humor with social and political history, making it useful not just for art lovers but also for readers curious about the culture of the nineteenth century. It has remained accessible through public-domain editions and library archives, which has helped keep his work in circulation.

Reliable biographical details about Richardson are limited in the sources I could confirm here, so this overview focuses on the points that were clearly supported.
