Harrington Antiques

Description

A rare collection of three signed original ink and watercolour illustrations by Charles Edmund Brock (1870-1938), housed within ebonised frames, c.1900.

Brock received his first book commission at the age of 20 in 1890. He became very successful, and illustrated books for authors such as Jane Austen, Charles Dickens, Jonathan Swift, William Thackeray and George Eliot. Brock also contributed pieces to several magazines such as The Quiver, The Strand and Pearsons. In illustration, Brock is best known for his line work, initially working in the tradition of Hugh Thomson, but he was also a skilled colourist.

All of the illustrations in this collection remain in an excellent condition. The ebonised frames show some wear to the extremities commensurate with age but remain attractive.
