Bunbury, HENRY WILLIAM

Bunbury, HENRY WILLIAM, caricaturist, was the son of the Rev. Sir William Bunbury, and was born at Mildenhall in Suffolk in 1750. Educated at Westminster and Cambridge, he early became distinguished for his humorous designs, which gave him the right to rank after Rowlandson and Gillray. He usually avoided political subjects. He drew mainly in pencil and chalks, but also produced water-colours. He died in 1811. His son, Sir Henry Edward Bunbury, seventh Bart. (1778-1860), wrote several historical works, including one on the Peninsular war.
