EDITORS COMMENTS
This caricature, created in 1882, depicts three prominent figures of the Victorian era's literary and artistic world: Charles Samuel Keene (1823-1891), Francis Cowley Burnand (1836-1917), and John Tenniel (1820-1914). The trio are shown in a lively and humorous setting, reflecting their close friendship and professional camaraderie. Charles Samuel Keene, the eldest of the group, was a renowned English caricaturist and illustrator, best known for his work in Punch magazine. His witty and incisive caricatures captured the essence of Victorian society and were widely popular. Francis Cowley Burnand, born in 1836, was an English author, journalist, and editor, who became the editor of Punch magazine in 1868. Burnand's tenure at Punch saw the publication reach new heights, with his keen editorial sense and ability to select the best works from a talented pool of contributors. John Tenniel, the youngest of the trio, was a prolific English illustrator, most famous for his collaborations with Lewis Carroll on Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass. Tenniel's intricate and detailed illustrations brought Carroll's fantastical worlds to life and remain iconic to this day. The three men are depicted in this caricature in the midst of an entracte, or interlude, a common feature of Victorian theatres. Keene is shown drawing a caricature, while Burnand, with a quill in hand, edits a manuscript. Tenniel, ever the illustrator, is seen sketching from life. The trio's shared passion for their craft and their camaraderie are beautifully captured in this charming and humorous caricature, a testament to their enduring impact on the world of Victorian literature and art.
