Beau Brummell (1778–1840) was an important figure in Regency England and for many years the arbiter of men's fashion.

Bentley’s wonderful black and white style is most famously evident in his illustrations for T S Eliot’s Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats (1941).  Bentley provided cartoons for the Daily Mail as well as for Punch, Private Eye, and the Sunday Telegraph.

I recommend looking at Chris Beetles website for further examples of Bentley's work

VAT / CUSTOMS TAXES
Please note that any customs charges or VAT charges are always the buyers responsibility to pay.
This has nothing to do with me and I do not benefit financially from it - it is all done by ebay and I have no control over how much they will charge you.  Countries in Europe and some other countries have rules in place so VAT is paid to ebay and ebay then pay the VAT to your countries government.  If provided by ebay, I can write ebay's VAT number on the parcel to show VAT has been paid as long as the VAT was paid at the ebay checkout.
