Biography

He was the son of Francis-John Bellew, a British officer, and Anne Smoult Temple, of Hylton Castle.

Bellew worked at most of the notable publications of his time, including Frank Leslie's Illustrated, Harper's Bazaar, Harper's Weekly, Puck, St. Nicholas, and Scribner's.

Bellew was active in New Orleans, Louisiana circa 1855, but before and after that period spent his career in New York City.

While the name "Uncle Sam" had been used to refer to the United States since the 1810s, Bellew was the first artist to portray him in human form, in the March 13, 1852, issue of the New York Lantern.[1] The cartoon showed John Bull actively involved in assisting his country's shipping industry, while Uncle Sam, conversely, does nothing to help the American shipping industry.
