Charles Keene

Wood engraving by Joseph Swain

4½ x 3½ inches

Illustration for George Meredith’s Evan Harrington in Once a Week 3 (July–December 1860): 141.

Most of Keene’s designs are still interiors; this illustration symbolises the flourishing of love in a vibrant representation of couples at play.
