Born in Dublin, Doyle was the leading political cartoonist of the late 1820s and 1830s, working under the name 'H.B.' He moved to London in 1821 and began his long-running Political Sketches series of lithographs. Chronicling the political events and figures of the day they included many cartoons concerning the Irish situation. The Radical leader Daniel O'Connell was famously characterised as the Whig party's 'Political Frankenstein'.
