[1] Bernhard Gillam (April 28, 1856 Banbury, Oxfordshire – January 19, 1896 Canajoharie, New York), was an English-born American political cartoonist.
Gillam arrived in New York with his parents in 1866. He worked as a copyist in a lawyer’s office, but switched to the study of engraving, and later, after some of his cartoons had appeared in the New York Graphic, turned to cartooning. His work appeared in Frank Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper, Harper's Weekly, where he worked with Thomas Nast duringJames A. Garfield's campaign of 1880, and Puck Magazine where he came under the influence of Joseph Keppler. Gillam also produced work for Judge, a magazine of which he became director-in-chief in 1886.
Bernhard Gillam died of typhoid fever in 1896.
