Charles Rambert

Charles Rambert is documented as a printmaker active in 1851, placing his known creative output firmly within the mid-19th century. Thirteen of Charles Rambert’s prints are currently represented in museum collections, establishing his historical presence in graphic arts.

The Art Institute of Chicago holds examples of the artist’s known output. Rambert’s subject matter appears to center on narrative or genre scenes, often featuring themes of social observation or hardship, reflecting common concerns of the period. This is evident in the specific titles of the prints preserved in collections, which include the standalone work Drunkenness and multiple plates from a thematic sequence, such as Plate One from Misery, Plate Four from Misery, Plate Five from Misery, and Plate Eight from Misery.

These works provide insight into 19th-century printmaking practices. Today, the surviving impressions of Charles Rambert prints are often utilized for scholarly research, with digitized versions of these museum-quality images frequently available as downloadable artwork.
