Brightwell, Leonard Robert (né à Londres en 1889). Graveur et illustrateur animalier. Il étudia à la Lambeth Scholl of art de Londres. Membre de la société zoologique de Londres en 1906. An outstanding British etcher and illustrator of animal subjects, Leonard Robert Brightwell studied at the Lambeth School of Art, London. Countless visits to the Zoological Gardens, however, provided his most important artistic education. Brightwell became a Fellow of the Zoological Society of London in 1906 and a member of the Marine Biological Association in 1922. During the first half of the twentieth century he was commissioned by these associations and other museums to make scientific drawings of various forms of life, including extinct animals. Leonard Brightwell's first illustrated book (A British Dog in France) was published in 1913. During the First World War (1914-1918) he served in the British Army. After 1920 Brightwell established himself as a major illustrator and as an author.
