Amusing Victorian illustrations from 1875 by Charles Keene, (1823- 1891) “Reminiscences of Hedge-Firing”
Charles Keene (1823–1891) is one of the most admired of the black and white artists at work during the Sixties, especially by other artists who were his contemporaries. He became known as ‘The Artist’s Artist’ following a publication so titled by Lionel Lindsay, which appeared in 1934. Among many of these were also included practitioners as diverse as Walter Sickert, Degas, Roger Fry and William Rothenstein. Keene was a naturally gifted draughtsman noted for his numerous cartoons, almost invariably of the lower classes in the pages of Punch magazine. Originally appeared in Punch magazine in 1875
