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.

[Translation/transcription] 1 Albert Studios 20 Albert Street NW1 25 May 1967 Many thanks for the [illegible] letter and the many other things you’ve taken in hand for me. Now you’ve gone one better by schlepping my folio of etchings over to OK, and OK has written a letter of recommendation to Apollo for his little brother. I’m sure he meant well, and who likes working without appreciation and encouragement, or who else but a hopeless introvert?! Well, the etchings (drypoints for the most part) are a by-product of my life’s work and, as is so often the case, for me …

Full text (in translation): ‚Dear Friend, I was a little worried about your lack of news, but I didn’t want to interrogate you for the fear of hearing about some terrible illness. Your letter arrives at the right time to calm my mind. I can also see that we will struggle to make you a perfect farmer.
