Although quite a small and compact county, without any natural barrier like sea or mountains, there has always been a very real sense of locality and a very characteristic way of life in Bedfordshire.

Charles Keene was one of a small group of mid-Victorian draughtsmen, among them John Tenniel and George du Maurier, who was responsible for greatly improving the quality of British illustration during the 1860s and 1870s. Untrained, but with pre-Raphaelite devotion to studying from nature, Keene became the strongest black and white artist of his time contributing not only to Punch, but to many of the other periodicals of the gay such as Once a Week. Almost alone among these men, Keene obtained an international reputation and was widely admired in America and Europe. The American artist James McNeil Whistler described Keene as 'the greatest artist since Hogarth'. Edgar Degas owned his books and Camille Pissaro recommended him to his son Lucien.

Antique Collectors’ Club Ltd

This title was first published in 2002: Phil May (1864-1903) was one of the two outstanding British black and white artists of the 1890s - the other was Aubrey Beardsley. The work of both artists displays a masterly use of line to create character, but rather than focusing on subjects drawn from polite English society, May's world is that of ordinary people at the public house, the club, the race-course, the theatre and the East End. May spent some years in Australia before returning to achieve general acclaim as a foremost illustrator. He contributed humorous pen-and-ink drawings to popularist publications such as "The Daily Graphic" and "Punch", and became highly regarded by fellow artists James McNeill Whistler and Joseph Pennell. In this book, Simon Houfe offers insights into the interface between the artist's life and work, bringing into view an innovative figure working at the height of one of the most dazzling periods for black and white art.

Phil May (1864-1903) was one of two outstanding British black-and-white artists of the 1890s: the other was Aubrey Beardsley. May was the obverse side of the Beardsley coin, equally redolent of the fin de siecle, equally bohemian, equally refined in line, but the jester rather than the aesthete. His world was that of ordinary people at the pub, the club, the racecourse, the theatre and the East End, with occasional sallies into polite society.This book examines May's sad and equivocal private life and tries to relate this to his art. Without training, destitute as a teenager and searching for an identity, May spent some years in Australia before returning to achieve general acclaim as a foremost illustrator. How did an alcoholic who had great difficulty in managing his life succeed as such a prolific artist? How did May's gregariousness and generosity tally with his inner loneliness and uncertainty? Was Punch, the magazine that he worked on for ten years, a blessing or a burden? Highly regarded by James McNeill Whistler and Joseph Pennell, May died in comparative poverty.
