EDITORS COMMENTS
by Charles Samuel Keene captures the essence of 19th-century England through a captivating black and white pen and ink drawing. This remarkable artwork, displayed at the Art Institute of Chicago, showcases Keene's exceptional talent in illustrating scenes from everyday life. In this particular piece, we are transported back in time to witness a bustling city street. A hackney cab takes center stage as its driver skillfully navigates through the busy thoroughfare. The attention to detail is evident in every stroke of brown ink and touches of white gouache that bring depth and texture to the composition. Keene's ability to capture human emotion shines through as two passengers sit comfortably inside the cab. Their expressions hint at an intriguing narrative unfolding within this snapshot of history. The artist's mastery lies not only in his technical skills but also in his ability to evoke curiosity and imagination among viewers. As we admire "Thrift" we are reminded of the rich heritage art holds, preserving moments long gone yet forever etched on paper. It serves as a testament to Keene's contribution to British art during this era while offering us a glimpse into transportation customs and societal norms prevalent at that time. This print stands as a timeless reminder that art has the power to transcend generations, allowing us insight into different periods while sparking our own creativity and appreciation for history.
