GOULD, SIR FRANCIS CARRUTHERS English caricaturist and politician, was born in Barnstaple on Dec. 2, 1844. He joined the London Stock Exchange, where he constantly sketched the members and illustrated important events in the financial world; many of these drawings were reproduced by lithography and published for private circulation. In 1879 he began the regular illustration of the Christmas numbers of Truth, and in 1887 he became a contributor to the Pall Mall Gazette, transferring his allegiance to the Westminster Gazette on its foundation and subsequently acting as assistant editor. Among his independent publications are Who killed Cock Robin? (1897), Tales told in the Zoo (1900), two volumes of Froissart's Modern Chronicles, told and pictured by F. C. Gould (1902 and 1903), and Picture Politics-a reprint of his Westminster Gazette car toons. He was knighted in 1906. He died on Jan. 1, 1925.
