Bonsor, George (Jorge)

George (Jorge) Edward Bonsor (1855-1930) was born in France to BonsorBritish parents but spent most of his life working as an artist and archaeologist in Spain.

A number of his books, in Spanish, are available online(c).

Karl Juergen Hepke has written an extensive paper (in English) on the work of Bonsor(b).
