"BUNBURY,, HENRY WILLIAM (1750–1811) , amateur artist and caricaturist,, was born in 1750, being the second son of the Rev. Sir William, Bunbury, bart. , of Mildenhall in Suffolk. The Bunburys were an, old Norman family who are mentioned in Stephen's time as, established at Bunbury in Cheshire. Young Bunbury was educated, at Westminster School, and afterwards at St. Catharine's Hall,, Cambridge. Both at school and college he seems to have acquired, an early reputation as a humorous draughtsman, going so far at, Westminster as to etch ‘A Boy riding upon a Pig, ’ a copy of, which is to be found in the British Museum Print Room; and at, Cambridge accumulating a fair gallery of ungainly dons and, awkward undergraduates. He drew chiefly in pencil, or black and, red chalk; but, although he seems to have used the needle, he, was never successful as an etcher, and his designs were, generally reproduced by engravers, mostly in stipple or dot.
