Charles Green

1840-1898

British (London, England)

Charles Green was a painter and illustrator, and one of the most successful draughtsmen of his generation. He is chiefly remembered as a Dickens illustrator and before his untimely death at the age of fifty-eight was a leading member of the group of book illustrators known as 'The New Men of The Sixties'. His contribution to the scheme shows a scene that amused him and that he regularly saw in his birthplace of Hampstead. Artist profile image: Charles Green, ca. 1850-1880. Royal Academy of Arts.
