Wood engravings and drawings by Charles Keene

1846–90

This collection, which has now been digitised and made available to view online, includes primarily wood engravings, many of which were used to illustrate 'Punch', and other similar publications, such as 'Once a Week', by Charles Keene. These illustrations cover a substantial part of his career, dating from 1861 to 1888. Also available online are a number of preparatory pencil and ink studies that appear to have informed his wood engravings for 'Punch', as well as etchings, including one early design for and illustration printed in Daniel Defoe's book, 'The Life and Surprising Adventures of Robinson Crusoe', published in 1847.
