Gilbert Abbott à Beckett

A founder of first Figaro in London and then Punch, Gilbert Abbott à Beckett was also a magistrate, a playwright, and a long-time companion of Charles Dickens and of William Makepeace Thackeray, but best known as a satirist.

His sons Gilbert Arthur à Beckett (1837-1891) and Arthur William à Beckett (1844-1909) pursued similar careers in satire and may easily be confused with him.

English barrister and humorist (1811-1856)

Born	17 February 1811
