I mentioned the Victorian comic strip Ally Sloper on my Penny Dreadful thread, and I thought this would be better as a separate thread.

Marie Duval (real name Isabelle Émilie de Tessier) was born in 1847 in France, and died in 1890 in London. She was a real trailblazer, being a rare female cartoonist at that time.
She created the character Ally Sloper, possibly the first serial cartoon in the world with her husband Charles Henry Ross.
She worked for a variety of papers and comics during her lifetime.
She died young in her early 40s.

There is an archive of her work here:

“The stranger came early in February, one wintry day, through a biting wind and a driving snow, the last snowfall of the year, over the down, walking from Bramblehurst railway station, and carrying a little black portmanteau in his thickly gloved hand. He was wrapped up from head to foot, and the brim of his soft felt hat hid every inch of his face but the shiny tip of his nose;”
