Constantin Guys Biography

(b Flushing, the Netherlands, 1802; d Paris, 13 March 1892). French draughtsman. His father was chief administrator of the merchant navy in the northern Netherlands, but Guys lived for most of his life in France; from 1848 he also spent some time in England. He belonged to the first generation of illustrators to be employed by the earliest of the great illustrated journals. As a correspondent for the Illustrated London News (after 1838) and for Punch in 1842, he was able to travel widely, visiting Bulgaria, Spain, Italy and Egypt and sending back sketches to be engraved as magazine illustrations. He recorded the Memorial Service for Greek Independence in Athens and The Sultan at the Bairam Festival in Constantinople. In 1855 he was sent to cover the Crimean War and witnessed the battles of Inkerman and Balaclava.
