Marie Duval

Isabelle Emilie de Tessier (1847-1890), who worked under the pseudonyms Marie Duval, Noir, Princess Hesse Schwartzbourg and Ambrose Clarke, was an incredibly proific Victorian era cartoonist who drw hundreds of pages for Judy magazine, and helped develop the long running character Ally Sloper, possibly the first recurring comic character in the world. Sadly, her immense contributions to the industry have often been overlooked.
