Partridge, Bernard, 1861-

British artist Bernard Partridge studied architecture and stained-glass design, and spent some time as an actor in his youth. He joined Punch as a staff cartoonist in the 1890s, and was a mainstay with the magazine for some fifty years, becoming chief cartoonist in 1901. His drawings are notable for their theatrical nature and conservative politics, and Partridge is considered among the best Punch illustrators.
