Ebenezer Landells (Newcastle 13 April 1808 – 1 October 1860 London) was a British wood-engraver, illustrator, and magazine proprietor.
Life
Born in Newcastle, Landells was apprenticed to the wood-engraver Thomas Bewick. In 1829 he moved to London,[1] and before long managed to start his own engraving workshop. After attempting a short-lived fashion journal, Cosmorama, he joined with the journalist Henry Mayhew and the printer William Last to found Punch in 1841. Initial difficulties forced Landells to sell his one-third share to the publishers Bradbury & Evans; after the new owners replaced Landells with Joseph Swain as chief engraver, Landells responded with a pamphlet entitled A Word with Punch (1847).
Herbert Ingram consulted Landells about launching his weekly Illustrated London News in 1842: after a commission to sketch Queen Victoria's first visit to Scotland that year, Landells became the paper's first artistic correspondent and continued to supply prints for the newspaper until his death.
Landells was also involved in several other magazines: the less successful Illuminated Magazine (1843–45), Great Gun (1844, in imitation of Punch), the Lady's Newspaper (1847–63, then incorporated into the Queen), Diogenes (1853, another attempt to imitate Punch), and the Illustrated Inventor. Responding to the growth in the children's book market, he wrote and illustrated several books for children: Boy's Own Toy-Maker (1858), Girl's Own Toy-Maker (1859), and Illustrated Paper Model Maker (1860).
