Charles H. Bennett – Illustrator

Charles H. Bennett was a British illustrator; 5 of his books that are available from Internet Archive are this week’s pick for eBooks. They were published between 1857 and 1872; the last one was published after his death in 1867.

He died early leaving his wife with 8 children and another on the way; his colleagues thought so highly of him that they raised funds to help the widow – enough that more than a decade after his death she claim to have ‘means derived from dividends.’
