Charles was born in Enfield, Middlesex and was an outstanding engraver in his time; many of his best-known plates were after the works of Sir Edwin Landseer. The earliest of these was Hafed, published in 1837. His works after other painters included: Bonaparte a Bassano, The Melton Breakfast, after Sir Francis Grant.
