Invitation [?] (Drawing for Punch)

WAG 1413

Information

Charles Keene was a caricaturist for the popular magazine Punch in the 19th century. He drew amusing scenes of everyday London life and was an influence on the Impressionists in their views of London. This drawing is probably a preparatory sketch for a print (likely a woodcut), as the letters in reverse would print the right way in the finished product.
