{"title":"Brock, Charles","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCharles Edmund Brock (1870-1938)\u003c\/strong\u003e was a widely published English painter, line artist and book illustrator, who signed most of his work C. E. Brock. He was the eldest of four artist brothers, including Henry Matthew Brock (1875-1960), also an illustrator.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBrock was born on 5 February 1870 in Holloway, London. The family later settled in Cambridge. He studied art briefly under sculptor Henry Wiles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBrock received his first book commission at the age of 20 in 1890. He became very successful, and illustrated books for authors such as Jonathan Swift, William Thackeray, Jane Austen, Charles Dickens, 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. As a painter he received plaudits for his realism and vibrancy he created in his work. Only a small quantity of his paintings have been located which is why their prices have been so high.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBrock and his brothers maintained a Cambridge studio filled with various curios, antiques, furniture, and a costume collection. They owned a large collection of Regency era costume prints and fashion plates, and had clothes specially made as examples for certain costumes. Using these, family members modelled for each other.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"brock-c-e-1870-1938-hand-over-your-revolver","title":"Brock, C.E.
