1823 1891 Cartoonist Elderly Keene Moustache Oval Reid Tired
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print showcases the elderly Charles Keene, an English artist and renowned cartoonist, in an oval frame. Born in 1823, Keene was a significant figure in the world of British art and satire, best known for his incisive wit and keen observational skills. His cartoons, published primarily in Punch magazine, were a staple of Victorian society and provided biting commentary on the social and political issues of the day. In this image, Keene is depicted in a tired yet thoughtful pose, with a pipe clenched between his teeth and a cloud of smoke wafting from it. His moustache, thick and bushy, frames his weathered face, adding to the sense of age and wisdom. The artist's penetrating gaze, fixed on some distant point, suggests a deep well of experience and creativity. Despite his advanced age, Keene's artistic talent remained undiminished. He continued to produce cartoons until his death in 1891, leaving behind a rich and enduring legacy. This photograph, taken likely in the late 19th century, offers a rare glimpse into the personal life of a man who shaped the cultural landscape of his time. A true master of his craft, Charles Keene's influence on the world of art and satire continues to be felt today.
