Short biography
British artist Henry Keen, printmaker, painter, and lithographer, was mostly known for his illustrations of Oscar Wilde s "Dorian Gray" and Webster s "The White Devil and the Duchess of Malfi". Though he was in every sense a fantastic lithographer and his work betrays an educated background, very little is known of his life or career, both short lived: He was born in 1899; he died on June 26th, 1935, of tuberculosis

* Some sources give his birth year as 1871, or his place of death as Switzerland. But see the Wormwoodiana link above. *.
