Henry Louis Stephens

Henry Louis Stephens (February 11, 1824-December 13, 1882) was an American illustrator.

He was born in Philadelphia. About 1859 he went to New York under an engagement with Frank Leslie, and after a year or so transferred his services to Harper & Brothers. Mr. Stephens was a prolific artist, and accomplished a great amount of work for book and magazine illustration.

He was well known as a caricaturist, excelling especially in the humorous delineation of animals, and drew cartoons and sketches for The Cyclopedia of Wit and Humor (book edited by William Evans Burton (1858) Vanity Fair (1859-63), Mrs. Grundy (1868), Punchinello (1870), and other periodicals. He illustrated some children's books, including: Aesop's Fables; Death of Cock Robin; The House that Jack Built, and wrote and illustrated The Goblin Snob (c.1855), a satirical poem, as well as The Comic Natural History of the Human Race (1851). He gave some attention also to painting in water-colors, but rarely exhibited his works. He died in Bayonne, New Jersey.
