Partridge, Sir Bernard (1861 - 1945)
Partridge was most renowned for his association with Punch magazine. He joined the Punch staff in 1891 and became chief cartoonist in 1910, a position he held until his death in 1945. His cartoons usually featured one or two stately figures centre stage; as Price, Punch’s biographer, pointed out Partridge’s cartoons were ‘theatrical’ rather than ‘dramatic’. Partridge also exhibited many oil paintings, pastels and watercolours and was knighted in 1925.
