GOULD, See also:SIR See also:FRANCIS CARRUTHERS (1844- ) , See also:English caricaturist and politician, was See also:born in See also:Barnstaple on the 2nd of See also:December 1844. Although in See also:early youth he showed See also:great love of See also:drawing, he began See also:life in a See also:bank and then joined the See also:London Stock See also:Exchange, where he constantly sketched the members and illustrated important events in the See also:financial See also:world; many of these drawings were reproduced by See also:lithography and published for private circulation. In 1879 he began the See also:regular See also:illustration of the See also:Christmas See also:numbers of Truth, and in 1887 he became a contributor to the See also:Pall Mall See also:Gazette, transferring his See also:allegiance to the See also:Westminster Gazette on its See also:foundation and subsequently acting as assistant editor. Among his See also:independent publications are Who killed See also:Cock See also:Robin? (1897), Tales told in the Zoo (1900), two volumes of See also:Froissart's See also:Modern See also:Chronicles, told and pictured by F. C. Gould (1902 and 1903), and Picture Politics—a periodical reprint of his Westminster Gazette cartoons, one of the most noteworthy implements of See also:political warfare in the armoury of the Liberal party. Frequently grafting his ideas on to subjects taken freely from See also:Uncle Remus, Alice in Wonderland, and the See also:works of See also:Dickens and See also:Shakespeare, Sir F. C. Gould used these See also:literary vehicles with extraordinary dexterity and point, but with a See also:satire that was not unkind and with a vigour from which bitterness, virulence and cynicism were notably absent. He was knighted in 1906.
