Charles Samuel Keene's "Study for Title Page from Punch, Volume 81" is a pen and ink drawing depicting a comical figure balancing on a pole while holding up a banner with the word "PUNCH" and the number "81" in large stylized font. This humorous work was a preliminary study for a title page of the famed British satirical magazine, Punch, and highlights Keene's masterful use of line and detail to create an engaging and entertaining scene. The drawing's inclusion in the Art Institute of Chicago's collection underscores its significance within the history of British illustration and humor.
