Landells, Ebenezer, 1808-1860
Ebenezer Landells was a British wood-engraver, illustrator, and magazine proprietor. He was born at Newcastle upon Tyne on 13 April 1808 and by the age of fourteen he was apprenticed to Thomas Bewick (1753-1828), the celebrated wood-engraver. In 1841 he provided the technical expertise and capital to produce the political magazine Punch and was involved in the launch of the Illustrated London News in 1842. Landells was involved with many other magazines as proprietor or engraver: the Illuminated Magazine (1843), the Lady's Newspaper (1847) ('the earliest paper devoted to female interests', according to the Dictionary of National Biography), the Great Gun (1844), Diogenes (1853), and the Illustrated Inventor. Over 1000 of his wood-engraving proofs are held in the prints and drawings department of the British Museum. He died on 1 October 1860 at his lodgings in Victoria Grove, West Brompton.
