1834 1867 Browne Farrar Humorist Plume Ward
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the enigmatic and witty American humorist, Charles Farrar Browne, also known by his pen name, Artemus Ward. Born on August 24, 1834, in Windham, Maine, Browne began his literary career in the 1850s, contributing humorous sketches and stories to various publications. His unique style, which combined satire, irony, and self-deprecation, quickly gained him a devoted following. The image, taken during the height of Browne's popularity in the late 1850s or early 1860s, shows the author in a contemplative pose, with a serious expression that belies the mischievous humor that permeated his work. Browne's distinctive appearance, with his bushy mustache and balding head, adds to the intrigue of the photograph. Despite his success as a writer, Browne's personal life was marked by tragedy and hardship. He lost his first wife and two young children to illness, and his second marriage ended in divorce. Nevertheless, he continued to write and perform, traveling extensively throughout the United States and Europe to entertain audiences with his irreverent wit. Tragically, Browne's life was cut short when he died by suicide on February 18, 1867, at the age of just 32. The cause of his despair remains a mystery, but his legacy as a pioneering American humorist continues to inspire generations of writers and performers. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the complex and fascinating life of a man who brought laughter and joy to countless readers during his brief but brilliant career.
