Not on view
Keene's image of three policemen marching a hand-cuffed man through the rain was published in Punch. The caption accompanying the related wood-engraving reads:
Happy Thought
Street Boy (appropriately applying the popular phrase to a "deserving object"): 'He's got 'em on!'"
Keene was a leading British illustrator who worked for Punch between 1864 and 1890. His imagery generally focused on humorous situations in humble surroundings, unlike his contemporary George Du Maurier who satirized London society.
