Charles Hancock

Charles Hancock is an artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Charles Hancock made 19th-century prints, often quiet scenes of country life. “The Warrener” shows a man tending rabbit warrens, a now-rare job that kept game birds and hares safe for hunting. The print belongs to the same era as early photography, when artists captured everyday workers with clear, unflashy lines. Tap “The Warrener” to zoom in on the tool in his hand and the careful lines that build the scene.
