John Leech (29 August 1817 – 29 October 1864) was a British caricaturist and illustrator. He was best known for his work for Punch, a humorous magazine for a broad middle-class audience, combining verbal and graphic political satire with light social comedy. Leech catered to contemporary prejudices, such as anti-Americanism and antisemitism and supported acceptable social reforms. Leech's critical yet humorous cartoons on the Crimean War helped shape public attitudes toward heroism, warfare, and Britons' role in the world.

  • John Leech (29 aout 1817-29 octobre 1864 à Londres) est un caricaturiste et illustrateur anglais. Il est surtout connu pour sa participation à Punch, un magazine humoristique de satire politique, puis comme l'illustrateur d'Un chant de Noël de Charles Dickens. Leech se conformait aux préjugés de son temps tels que l'anti-américanisme et l'antisémitisme et était partisan de réformes sociales. Les dessins critiques mais aussi humoristiques de Leech à propos de la Guerre de Crimée aidèrent à former l'esprit du public sur l'héroïsme, la guerre et le rôle des Britanniques dans le monde. (fr)
