Description: Abstract: Son of a cartoonist, born in London in in 1824 and educated at home by his father he began having work published at the age of fifteen. Doyle, like his father, was a devout Roman Catholic, and in 1850 he resigned from Punch Magazine in protest over the magazine's hostility to the Pope. John Murray, the publisher of the Quarterly Magazine, later claimed that Wiseman, the leader of the Roman Catholic Church in England, had forced Doyle to resign under the threat of excommunication. He died in 1883.
