He was born in Dublin on 11 December 1872 to a French mother and an English father.

Bull returned to Ireland to contribute sketches and political cartoons to various publications, including the Weekly Freeman.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMoving to London in 1892, Bull drew for \"Illustrated Brits\" and created cartoons in the style of Caran d'Ache for Pick-Me-Up from 1893. In 1896, Bull joined the Black and White Illustrated Newspaper as a special artist and photographer. In 1898, he covered the Tirah Campaign in India and went on to Sudan for the campaign culminating in the Battle of Omdurman. He went to South Africa to record the Boer War until the relief of Ladysmith in March 1900.
