[1][2][3] He contributed to Punch for over 50 years and was the illustrator for books written by A. P. Herbert, E. V. Lucas and Anthony Armstrong.

[17] Carlo Lanfranco D'Estampes later established his family in Milan, Italianized his name to Stampa, and many of his descendants became successful in the Byzantine Empire.

[17] The Aegean Island of Stampalia, renamed Astypalaia after World War II, was colonised by the family in the 14th century.

[12] Stampa's predilection for drawing London street urchins and mongrel dogs was in the same style as Charles Keene and Phil May.

[6] Stampa was also a designer of posters for London Transport,[19] and illustrator to the Punch theatre column, "At the Play", signing some of his work as Harris Brooks.

[4] Stampa was commissioned to paint a cartoon, the size of a postage stamp, for Queen Mary's famous dolls' house.

[6] Stampa's abiding interest in drawing animals led him to be a Life Member of London Zoo.

[22] Stampa was a member of the Savage Club, having been elected by Leonard Raven-Hill, and would later serve on the board of trustees.

[23] Stampa was also a young attendee at the Langham Sketch Club in All Souls Place near Regent Street, London, and would later be its chairman in 1914.

Perhaps his best epitaph was written by his granddaughter, Flavia Stampa Gruss, in her book, The Last Bohemian:[25] He was a man who cared deeply for England and things English.

Yet we should never forget that G. L. S. gained from his Italian forebears a special warmth and lightness of touch - the ragamuffins of Seven Dials were the blood brothers of those of Venice and Milan.
