Then another Dubliner, John Doyle, moved to London and began publishing his cartoons in 1827, under the pseudonym HB, in 1927. He became an establishment figure, moving in exalted literary and political circles, and at the height of his popularity in the 1840s, The Times published indexes of his prints. His son Richard was one of the founders of Punch, and his grandson Arthur Conan created Sherlock Holmes.
