Robinson used various illustration techniques such as steel rule, colour lithography and watercolour. Over time, he developed a very individual style, which was influenced by a wide variety of art movements. Especially features of the watercolor paintings of Aubrey Beardsley and the woodcuts of Albrecht Dürer, as well as a variety of influences from Japanese art can be found in his works.
Charles Robinson was born in London in 1870. His father, Thomas Robinson, was also a book illustrator and passed on his enthusiasm to his sons Charles, Thomas and William, who were all also to become book illustrators. Charles began his training at Highbury Art School and then completed a seven-year apprenticeship at a lithographic printing house in London. During his apprenticeship he was offered a place at the Royal Academy of Arts in London at the age of 22, but Robinson had to decline because he would not have been able to pay the tuition fees. However, the unintentionally missed opportunity was not to hold up his career for long. Only three years later he already had his first success as an artist. He created his first book illustrations for a new edition of Robert Louis Stevenson's "A Child's Garden of Verses". The collection of poems had already been published ten years earlier under a different name, but it was only with Robinson's 100 pen-and-ink drawings as illustrations that it received public attention. Subsequently, "A Child's Garden of Verses" enjoyed great popularity and was reprinted several times. Shortly after his breakthrough as an artist he married Edith Mary Favatt, with whom he fathered four daughters and two sons. Over the course of his career Robinson illustrated a number of well-known children's books, including new editions of "Alice in Wonderland" and "The Secret Garden" as well as the fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm.
With the beginning of World War I, Robinson stopped working to enlist in the military. However, as he was already forty-four years old at that time, he was not found useful in the regular troops and so he voluntarily joined the central defense militia. He survived the war without any injuries and immediately after the end of the war he started looking for work again. As a result of the world economic crisis triggered by the war, however, the market for expensive book illustrations was no longer available. Forced to work for magazines, Robinson began to work for magazines to secure his income. Only at this time did Robinson start to paint more and more. In the last years before his death in 1937 he created over 700 pictures until he finally died at the age of 67.
